rwanda coffee
by conscious cup coffee roasters - barrington · chicago, usa
you'll taste raisin before honey. this is rwanda, gwiza honey, a honey rwanda from conscious cup coffee roasters - barrington.
expect raisin, honey, and honeycomb, flavors shaped by the honey process, which carries fruit sweetness from the drying stage into the cup. the light roast keeps those notes clean rather than caramelized.
the coffee is a bourbon varietal grown in the nyamasheke region of rwanda and processed using the honey method, meaning some of the fruit mucilage remains on the bean as it dries, contributing to its sweetness.
as a light roast with delicate sweetness, it responds well to pour-over or aeropress brewing, which offer control over extraction and let the raisin and honeycomb notes come through clearly. avoid high brew temperatures that can introduce bitterness.
