nyungwe is a honey-processed bourbon from the nyamasheke region of rwanda, roasted by olfactory coffee roasters. honey processing means the coffee cherry's mucilage is left on the seed during drying, which carries natural sugars into the cup and gives this coffee its prominent honey and honeycomb character. bourbon is a classic variety known for balanced sweetness and clean structure. because the processing already adds sweetness and body, brewing methods that preserve those qualities, such as pour-over or aeropress, will let the honey tones come through cleanly without muddying the cup.

about olfactory coffee roasters

penryn doesn't get the coffee attention it deserves, and olfactory is a good part of why that's starting to change. the old brewery yard address is apt, a former industrial site turned into the kind of place where something genuinely considered is being made. roasting and retailing from the same cornish postcode keeps things tightly focused, and you can feel that focus in what ends up in your cup. this isn't a café trying to scale or a roaster coasting on regional novelty. the independent standing here is well-earned and consistent, which in a small town matters more than it might in a city with fifty alternatives. if you're passing through tr10, the old brewery yard on a weekday morning is worth building your route around.
