A rare Rwandan natural process showcasing bold winey fermentation and ripe tropical fruit complexity.

Flavor Description
While Rwanda is traditionally a washed-process origin, this natural lot shows incredible tension. Ripe aromas of strawberry and cranberry lead to a raisin-like sweetness, finishing with a mild winey intoxication and chocolate base.
Why It's Special
Gakenke’s extreme elevation is ideal for slow-drying natural processes, allowing the beans to develop balanced sweetness without earthy over-fermentation.
Brewing Notes
- Pour-over: Medium grind, water temperature 89-90°C, ratio 1:15
- Tip: Lower water temperatures make the fermented character feel softer and more elegant. A surprise for those who enjoy multi-layered, full-bodied beans.
