A creamy caramel and toffee texture with lingering notes of crispy red apple and pink grapefruit. This amazing washed Bourbon from the Nyamyumba washing station is everything we love so much about Rwandan coffees. The rich and creamy texture of caramel and brown sugar with the fruity citrus and berry notes is for us the perfect coffee for the winter days.
