An unassuming aroma on the grind hides the best Rwanda I've had this year. You would never believe this was a natural processed coffee as it's so clean, but it does have the bright fruit characters naturals often bring.
For me, Mae Coffee Roasters' Gishyita beans, with their bright strawberry and gooseberry, kiwi acidity, are like the coffee version of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The strawberry brings a juicy, red fruit sweetness, while the kiwi adds a refreshing tang, similar to the tropical, green fruit notes in the wine. Both are crisp, with a clean finish that keeps them light and refreshing. It's not really tart or sour at all, just bright. Black tea notes and a touch of florality are compliments but the strawberry/kiwi are the stars.Cupping Method:18:1 Hario v60, 197F
