Anemone Rwanda

Tasting notes

About this bean

Anemone Rwanda is a medium-light roast from Wide Awake Specialty Coffee, sourced from Rwanda. It features the Red Bourbon variety, processed using the washed method. Washed processing removes the cherry pulp before drying, which tends to highlight the bean's varietal character and produce a cleaner cup with brighter acidity. Medium-light roasts keep most of the origin character while developing a little more sweetness through caramelisation. The roaster lists tasting notes of Apricot Jam, Cascara, Lemon and Blackberry. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 8 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 7.3 out of 10 across 8 ratings.
