rwanda mwito west nyamasheke is a honey-processed bourbon from the nyamasheke region of rwanda, roasted by short sleeves coffee. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which tends to carry natural sweetness into the cup. expect blueberry fruit alongside honey and honeycomb sweetness, with the body and clarity typical of bourbon at this process level. it suits filter methods, like a v60 or kalita, that let the fruit and sweetness come through cleanly, though it will also reward a gentle cafetiere brew for something fuller.
