Kanya 1052 — Rwanda

Washed Red Bourbon, lot 1052 out of Kanya. Raspberry and citrus up front, toffee apple just behind, settling towards chocolate gâteau as the cup cools.

Rwandan coffee has a reputation for being sharp. This one has the acidity and enough sugar underneath to carry it — but if you want something that sits quietly in a flat white and asks nothing of you, the Nicaragua does that better.
