Rwanda Gitwe

Coffee overview

A brilliantly straightforward offering from Rwanda Trading Company, this washed Red Bourbon gets straight to the point with bright, sharp, and juicy acidity throughout. Just enough sugar development holds up the finish to this coffee and provides some linger. Intensity and acidity rules this one.
