the burundi gisoko is a washed-process coffee from burundi, roasted dark by maple leaf coffee roasters. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which keeps the cup clean and lets the bean's character come through. at dark roast, expect red apple acidity held in check by caramel sweetness, with baking spice and a lingering spice warmth on the finish. the body is full and the flavors are direct. dark roasts perform well as espresso or in a french press, where longer contact time and coarser grinds complement the roast without turning bitter.
