archival release #49 is a rwandan coffee from the kanzu region, roasted as a collaboration between passenger and necessary coffee. the 2020 harvest brings a tea-like character with stone fruit, hibiscus, and black tea running through the cup. it sits on the lighter, more delicate end of the flavour spectrum, making it well suited to brew methods that let those softer, floral qualities come through clearly. filter brewing, whether pour over or batch, will preserve the clarity and keep the hibiscus and stone fruit distinct rather than muddied. dial back water temperature slightly if bitterness creeps in.
