Rwandan coffee

I tried a blend from Rwanda. A little history on Rwandan coffee: at one time it was seen in the US as an either high-end coffee or low end commercial grade. Everything used to be shipped to Belgium. Rwandan coffee is usually only Arabica in nature, and is grown by small scale farmers. The blend I had was of medium intensity, with a restrained brightness of taste. The body was complex and somewhat dense, but not overbearing. All in all, the taste and finish was very clean. I didn't notice any earthy or chocolate undertones, which is good because I do not like those types. The blend was purchased from La Java coffee roasters in Green Bay, WI.

Bean rating: 3.75 beans
