Rwanda Nyamasheke Murundo: Tastes like Cherries and Vin Santo
FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS
THE STORY
We fell in love with this coffee last year, and found it tasted even better this year!
Coffee grown in the high hills next to the enormous Lake Kivu and its surrounding volcanic loam produces surprisingly jammy, rich coffees. The Murundo is a superb example; you'll taste a syrupy black cherry body and a stunning sweetness almost like dessert wine. There's plenty of toasted sugar in there, too, so don't be afraid to add cream!!
Light roasted for drip and press.

BREWING RECOMMENDATIONS
We serve this coffee as espresso in our shops. We use 20g ground coffee to produce 30g brewed espresso in 26-30 seconds. If you don't have a scale and the espresso is between 7 and 14 days old, just aim for a volume a little over 2 ounces for a double. Of course, feel free to experiment with the parameters to find your perfect coffee. If our parameters make the espresso taste sour or bitter to you, just increase your brewed amount a few grams up if it's sour or a few grams down if it's bitter. For our drip coffee, the parameters vary a little because we use a refractometer to control strength at 1.35 TDS, but if you don't have a refractometer just use about 12 grams of coffee for every 8 ounces of water. Please contact us with any brewing related questions!
