Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Oolong tea + Guava + Cinnamon Rwanda’s Nyamasheke district is gifted in terroirTerroirBorrowed from wine: the way a place — soil, altitude, climate, even neighboring crops — expresses itself in the cup, independent of variety and process.—the cool, humid climates of both Lake Kivu & the Nyungwe Forest National Park ensure groundwater remains abundant throughout the uniquely-hilly region. Kivu itself is part of the East African Rift whose constant drift creates volcanic seepage from the lake’s bottom & enriches the surrounding soils. Coffees from this region are often jammier & heavier than in the rest of the country. Coffee from Cyiya’s farmers in particular are honeyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural.-sweet and tend to be delicately floral, with lychee, citrus, & sweet tobacco flavors. We are excited to roast one of the best coffees from the boutique Kivubelt group in western Rwanda. High-altitude African coffees that are sourced from a specific terroir, & then light-roasted, may share similar sensory profiles with oolong tea, resulting in a delicate, floral & slightly astringent coffee. ROASTMASTER NOTES: I light-roasted this coffee to amplify the fresh, floral & creamy-sweet tropical fruit notes while preserving the spicy & pleasantly-dry, lingering finish. The complexities of this unique coffee are best realized when brewed with your favorite manual brew method—enjoy! – Desmond Mulvey, Roastmaster CALIBER COFFEE IS PROUDLY MADE IN REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA
