Most of Rwanda is planted with the French Mission Bourbon varietal that provides substantial structure for balancing the presentation of flavors. There’s a delightful sweetness combination of tangerine, cherry taffy and black date paste that layer themselves within a base of spiced rye gingerbread and subtle blackberry. Highlights of honeydew melon and lemongrass begin the transition of flavor and texture as this coffee cools, while a touch of cardamom and oolong tea add an elegant taste to accompany the silkiness that laces this gem together. The metamorphosis that is Kanzu shows the beauty of Rwanda and the continuous wonders of East Africa.
