rwanda + colombia coffee
by sterling coffee roasters · portland, usa
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is roaster's choice - patrick's blend, a washed rwanda + colombia from sterling coffee roasters.
it leads with milk chocolate and moves toward darker, more bitter chocolate, giving the cup a straightforward cocoa profile without heavy acidity or fruit. the washed process keeps the flavors clean and well-defined.
it blends bourbon variety coffee from rwanda and colombia, both processed using the washed method, where the fruit is removed before drying to produce a cleaner, more consistent cup.
filter methods like pour-over or batch brew suit it well, as the clean washed processing rewards clarity. it will also work as espresso if you prefer a chocolate-forward shot.
