LEGACY

Cup Profile: Dutch chocolate bar, spice, toffee

This full body Rwanda coffee is from Mushonyi Sector, Rutsiro District. The Nkora coffee washing station that processes this coffee is one of the oldest wet mills in Rwanda, having been established back in 1959. This entire area is now part of a local hydroelectric project that, along with zoning changes, has left the future for Nkora uncertain. They are currently having their lease renewed on 1 year term basis.

Rwandan coffees are commonly compared to high grown coffees from Guatemala. The fragrance of LEGACY off the grinds is sweet-toned, brown sugar, raw honey, and spice. Hot water brings out a scent of fresh baked goods, like warm oatmeal cookies with raisin and cinnamon. The brew has nicely balanced sweetness and acidity with a slightly brisk aftertaste. There's also a sticky-sweet hint of dark fruit like figs, and a spice/dry note in the finish like cinnamon bark or Indian spices.

This is a wet-processed (washed) specialty grade coffee, most farmers using old style hand-cranked pulpers, fermenting and washing in the same tank, and then drying on covered patios or drying beds. 

LEGACY is excellent for espresso, French press, drip, and espresso drinks and/or if you typically add a creamer to your coffee. 

How much brewed coffee will this make? You can figure that one 12 oz bag = about 25-30 8 oz cups of coffee.

Brewing recommendations:

Use clean, chemical-free water with some mineral content. Freshly grind your coffee beans when possible to match your brewing method using a burr grinder.

Keep brewing equipment clean. Store coffee beans in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Do NOT refrigerate your coffee unless it is sealed in an airtight bag and you plan on not using it for several months.
