rwanda coffee
by conscious cup coffee roasters - barrington · chicago, usa
you'll taste winey before honey. this is rwanda, cyato anaerobic, an anaerobic rwanda from conscious cup coffee roasters - barrington.
it tastes winey and sweet, with honey and honeycomb qualities that come directly from the anaerobic fermentation process used during production. the light roast keeps those flavors intact rather than pushing them toward darker, more roasted tones.
it comes from the nyamasheke region of rwanda and is processed anaerobically, meaning the coffee cherry ferments in a sealed, low-oxygen environment, which intensifies sweetness and winey characteristics in the final cup.
as a light roast, it responds well to brew methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, such as pour over, keeping water temperature between 90 and 93 celsius to avoid over-extracting the more delicate fermentation notes.
