Burundi Kiganda Murambi

Murambi makes such a delicious, sweet brewed coffee, with the balance and versatility I look for in a daily driver. It's versatile in terms of roast flavors as well, capable of more "light and bright" characteristics at City, as well as deep, chocolate roast flavors if roasted beyond Full City. The fragrance and aromatic profiles highlight sweet notes of turbinado type semi-refined sugars, with a complex mixture of tea, and chocolate malted grain. When brewed, City roasts of Murambi are medium-bodied cup, moderately bright and tea-like, with unrefined sugar notes that lead to a bittersweet finish. The sweet notes that unfold in the cup brought to mind sugar in the raw, with hints of toasted brûlée crust, and cacao husk tea. Spice and fruit hints crop up in the cooling cup, with accents of golden raisin, and tart dried goji berry. The acidity is quite nice in these lighter roasts and shows tangy aspects brisk black tea with lemon. My Full City roast drew out more intense roast flavors, like dark cocoa, and 70%+ cacao bar, accented by a hint of dark fruit. Big body lends some staying power to these delicious chocolate flavors, and leads to a long finish. Murambi shows all the markers of a standout single origin espresso at this roast level too!
