If you had, you would remember, but for those who haven’t: You didn’t drink enough coffee from Rwanda. No problem, just keep going, you’ll get lucky at some point, or not, if you’re lucky. But remember, you’re not a real barista until you’ve tasted the potato, a defect caused by an insect called the Antestia bug. It’s called potato defect because it literally makes the coffee taste and smell like a freshly peeled potato. One bean can be enough to ruin your whole cup. Luckily we don’t taste as many potatoes in our Rwandans as we used to. Most likely due to improved farming and processing techniques. \+ Read More - Origin: Karongi, Rwanda - Processing: Washed - Varieties: Red Bourbon - Roast: Light-medium roast - Tasting notes: Oolong tea, Peach, Bright, Juicy, Fig jam -
