This coffee comes from the tropical wetlands of Nyamasheke, Rwanda. 
 
The process - During harvest, each cherry is handpicked and sorted for quality. After selection, the coffee cherries are dried on raised beds for an average of 52 days. During this time, the coffee bean, which is the pit of the cherry, soaks up the natural sugars and fruity flavours of the cherry flesh. Think of it like leaving meat to marinate in seasonings before cooking! This method is referred to as the ‘natural process’ and results in a naturally sweeter cup with balanced acidity and more pronounced, fruity notes. 
 
Tasting Notes - With a medium dark roast these beans elicit notes of caramel, milk chocolate, stone fruits and a honeycomb finish.
