red gates is a seasonal single origin from rwanda, roasted by bad coffee. it's made from bourbon varietal beans and processed naturally, meaning the fruit dries around the seed, which typically pushes the cup toward brighter, fruitier character. in the cup you get lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, making it a sharp, clean-feeling coffee with clear acidity. because no brew method was specified, a filter approach such as pour over or aeropress tends to highlight that citrus clarity best. buy it while the season allows, as availability will shift with each harvest.
