Rwanda - Horizon Kigoma - Washed Red Bourbon - 250g

This Red Bourbon stands out for its intense acidity and an aromatic character reminiscent of certain fine Kenyan coffees, with notes of lime, butter, and hibiscus. Complementary notes of black tea and spices (vanilla, caraway), quite typical of the Rwandan terroir, are more perceptible in the second part of the tasting, and more intensely in the espresso extraction. A very high sweetness also enhances the cup, whatever the method of preparation.
