Rwanda Cyato Natural

Cyato is a washing station in the Nyamasheke district for coffee of several surrounding areas, including the farmers in this Abadatezuka Co-op. The area is northwest of Lake Kivu. (we normally find our favorite Rwanda coffees closer to Lake Kivu but this one stood out for something a little different.)

You can roast this similarly to a natural Ethiopia. The mouthfeel is a little bit thin, but it makes up for it with sweetness and brightness. You get nice complexity of coffee fruit flavor, red wine, mild chocolate. I don't care for it as espresso, but it's excellent as coffee.
