Coffee Central

For an off piste description I would say this coffee tastes like drinking earl grey with lemon sponge cake, apricot and blackberry jam and peanut buttercream, sat in the conservatory in late summer

Seriously though there is a wonderful sponge cake and citrus note on the dry aroma, apricot jam and jammy blackberry and lime acidity come through in the flavour with some hints of florals and cola. Its complex, the acidity is bright malic, citric and layered, the aftertaste is clean and sweet, its balanced and satisfying.

The dry aroma pops with high-percentage milk chocolate, strawberry, boozy watermelon, and plum. The wet aroma is consistent. The flavour is outstanding. It is super sweet, juicy, and aromatic, with strawberry, guava, and mango melding to violet. It has a port wine character, too. The aftertaste is sweet, long, and satisfying.

I chose this coffee for our Christmas Coffee, so I know it pretty well. It was supplied by the fine people Falcon Specialty and hails from the Kamina washing station, one of Rwandas oldest, in the far west of the country near Lake Kivu in Nyamasheke district.

Picked it for the Christmas vibes it offers; apple and cinnnamon, citrus, toffee, brown sugar, dark chocolate, clove and blood orange.

It would be a great filter anytime of year but Ill be brewing this on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with mince pies probably!
