ルワンダ・ガケンケ [浅煎り]

this is a light-roasted typica from gakenge, rwanda, roasted by hoop coffee & share roaster. typica is one of the older arabica varieties, and at a light roast it tends to retain the cleaner, more delicate characteristics the origin produces. gakenge sits in rwanda's northern province, an area known for well-structured, fruit-forward coffees. because the roast is kept light, you're getting the coffee's inherent character rather than roast influence. brew with a pour-over or filter method, use water around 90-93°c, and grind medium-fine to let the clarity come through without over-extracting.
