kinini is a rwandan bourbon processed anaerobically, meaning the cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. that process pulls out fruit-forward, slightly fermented character, which here lands as blackcurrant and brown sugar alongside milk and dark chocolate. it's a coffee that sits between bright and rich, more dessert-like than a washed rwandan would be. roasted by redroaster on st james's street, it suits filter methods that let the fruit come through cleanly, such as a v60 or chemex, though it will hold its own as an espresso if you want something sweeter and fuller in the cup.
