rare beans is roasted by colonna & small's and sources its coffee from rwanda. rwandan coffees are known for a distinct winey character that comes through clearly here, alongside milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving the cup a rich, layered sweetness with some fruit-forward depth. the winey quality makes it particularly expressive as a filter or cafetière brew, where those nuances have room to open up. if you enjoy chocolatey cups with a little fermented-fruit complexity rather than straightforward sweetness, this is a strong candidate.
