this is a light roast rwandan bourbon from up coffee, a varietal known for producing clean, bright cups in east african growing regions. expect a citrus-forward profile built around lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, with jasmine and floral top notes and a tea-like quality that leans toward black tea. milk and dark chocolate provide some body and roundness in the finish. the light roast keeps acidity lively, so it suits brewing methods that highlight clarity and brightness, such as pour over or aeropress with a medium-fine grind and water around 90-93°c.

How is Rwanda grown and processed?
it is grown in rwanda using the bourbon varietal, a classic arabica variety common across east and central africa, though no specific processing method is listed for this lot.
How should I brew Rwanda?
the light roast and bright citrus character respond well to pour over or aeropress, which preserve clarity and acidity, use a medium-fine grind and avoid very high brew temperatures that can push the citrus notes toward sharpness.
