This coffee is a natural processed lot from the Gitesi washing station in the Karongi region of Rwanda. Grown by over 1,800 smallholder farmers at an altitude between 1,740 and 2,000 meters, this coffee offers a fruit-forward profile. Tasting notes include blueberry, dried mango, Medjool date, maple syrup, and a hint of baking spice. It features a bright, lifted acidity with a structured finish reminiscent of black tea.

Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
