Vertue Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This is a Red Bourbon varietal coffee from the Nyamsheke district in Western Province, Rwanda, near Lake Kivu. Processed using the natural method at 1930 masl washing station altitude, with cherries grown at 2200+ masl. The cherries are handpicked, cleaned, and dried on traditional African raised beds in a cooler forest environment. Flavor profile includes black forest cake, Pedro Ximenez sherry, stewed prune, toffee, mascerated strawberry, black cherry, and cocoa. The high elevation and cool, wet climate from Lake Kivu contribute to the coffee's intense flavors and greater longevity.
