    Coffee Review of Rwanda Nyampinga by Goodboybob Coffee Roasters

    Primary Notes: Cherry, Ribena/blackcurrant, dark chocolate truffle, light hazelnut/walnut
    Finish: Pleasantly hoppy, very clean, light chocolate

    Rwanda Nyampinga offers a clean and straightforward tasting experience for a medium roast with robust flavors. The natural sweetness is massive and prominent throughout the sip. While it may not be overly complex, it offers a strong and satisfying profile. The fruity notes of cherry and black currant blend seamlessly with the rich, indulgent taste of dark chocolate truffle and subtle hints of hazelnut and walnut. The finish is enjoyable, leaving a pleasant hoppy aftertaste that lingers.

    Overall Impression: A well-balanced coffee with a significant natural sweetness and a clean, strong flavor. Perfect for those who appreciate a straightforward yet flavorful cup.

    This medium roast leans a bit dark. It has a nice, solid coffee flavor, with some apricot and a bitter dark chocolate. A surprising acidic sweetness accompanies a touch of nuttiness.

    Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
Bean Source Country: Rwanda
Rwandan coffee is known for its bright, fruity, and tea-like characteristics, attributable to its high elevations, fertile volcanic soil, and temperate climate. The Bourbon variety, commonly grown in Rwanda, lends itself to a delicate and nuanced flavor profile, often exhibiting notes of red fruit, citrus, and floral undertones. As the country has invested in improving coffee production and processing techniques, Rwandan coffee has emerged as a top contender in the specialty coffee market, earning recognition for its vibrant and complex flavors.
Rwandan coffee is renowned for its unique and vibrant flavor profile. It is characterized by a bright acidity and complex fruit tones, often featuring notes of berry, citrus, and sometimes hints of chocolate. Grown in the rich volcanic soil found throughout the hilly regions of the country, such as along the shores of Lake Kivu, Rwandan coffee benefits from an ideal combination of high altitude, regular rainfall, and ample sunshine. This environment facilitates the cultivation of predominantly Bourbon varieties of Arabica beans, typically handpicked with great care by small-scale farmers. The meticulous processing methods, including washing and sun-drying, contribute to the coffee's clean taste and high quality, making Rwandan coffee increasingly highly prized internationally.
