There is something peculiar about this coffee which I am not able to identify clearly, but also this is the first time I am drinking this type of coffee.
This coffee is from Rwanda, and it grows on the volcanic soil. Also it is been categorized under as 'bourbon' coffee. Chotu (Varun Nagda) had got this coffee for me, from there.
Roast and tastes notes are not mentioned on the packet, making it harder for me to understand this coffee. But it seems from the colour, taste and smell that it is a dark roast. The smell of the grinded coffee is that of a dark chocolate. The peculiar thing about the coffee is it's flatness in it's first part of the sip. It tastes very oaky and earthly, and has a very dark (that is strong caeffeine) flavour, but at the same time it also seems to be a bit flat - its not acidic and has no kind of pungent taste to it, it has no sharp tastes. But it also leaves a sweet creamy choclaty after taste, which for me seems the best part because it brings such a good compliment to the oakiness of it. Also, it has a good caeffeine level, enough to make you anxious :p
Also when brewing this coffee, the colour was of nothing I had ever seen before. It's very brown (a bit vibrant) with no yellowness in it (other coffee which I have tasted usually have a kind of yellowness).
This has been my first 'bourbon' coffee as well as first African coffee. I have little to no knowledge about coffee from Africa.
