gakenke is a washed bourbon from the gakenke region of rwanda, roasted by sabbath coffee. washed processing strips the cherry before fermentation, which tends to produce cleaner, crisper cups, and bourbon is a varietal known for balanced sweetness. the tasting note here is red apple, so expect a fruit-forward acidity with a clean finish rather than heavy body or dark roast depth. for best results, brew it as a pour over or filter method where that clarity and apple-like brightness can come through clearly. grind fresh, use water around 93, and avoid over-extraction, which can dull the crispness.
