Flavor Description
This honey-processed lot blends the sturdiness of Rwandan Bourbon with the sweetness of the honey process. Expect honey and apricot sweetness with a silky, creamy mouthfeel and a macadamia nut finish.
Region Highlight
Lake Kivu’s microclimate provides stable humidity and temperature, ideal for the slow-drying honey process. This experimental method is gaining traction in Rwanda to create body levels different from traditional washed lots.
