Gatare – Cup of Excellence #6

Review by Kenneth Davids, coffeereview.com, March 2012:
Notes: The Cup of Excellence is the most esteemed competition for green coffees from a given country of origin. This coffee was the sixth-place prize winner from the 2012 Rwanda competition chosen by a select group of international cuppers. Produced from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica.
 
Blind assessment: Intense, zesty but sweet. Grapefruit, peach, rose-like flowers, baker’s chocolate in aroma and cup. Richly crisp acidity; silky mouthfeel. The floral note in particular carries into a long, dry, flavor-saturated finish.
 
Who should drink it: Those who enjoy dry, floral-toned white wines and the pungent dry-berry elegance of fine Kenya coffees.
