It’s our first drop from a Canadian roaster—an exclusive coffee from Burundi by way of Calgary—Kibingo Natural ‘Cima’ by Rosso!
Rosso has been buying coffee from Kibingo for three years, a Cup of Excellence-winning washing station located near the Rwandan border. Faced with a low yield harvest, Kibingo took the opportunity to experiment with different processing methods. This Red Bourbon lot was fermented in a Cima yeast substrate, enhancing its bright, citrus notes.
We tasted Meyer lemon candy, tropical cider, black cherry, raspberry, and grapefruit with a black tea finish. Sweet, clean, and perfectly balanced.
