DR Congo Mutendero | Strawberry & Cream, Butterscotch

roasted by lost sheep coffee, this washed bourbon comes from uganda, processed in a way that strips back fruit skin and mucilage before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, brighter cup. the tasting notes point toward jasmine and floral character, so expect a delicate, fragrant profile rather than heavy body. washed bourbons like this usually reward brew methods that highlight clarity, so a pour-over or aeropress with water around 92-94°c and a medium-fine grind will let those floral qualities come through without muddiness. a good choice if you prefer lighter, aromatic coffees over rich or chocolatey ones.
