Rwanda Rutsiro Mushonyi

The ground coffee displays a sweet scent of butter cream frosting with a clove spice accent at City roast level. The wet aroma shows fragrant sweetness, with spice notes, like lemon ginger tea, and cinnamon-laced honey. The cup at City roast level has a mix of clean raw sugar sweetness, and complex aromatics of tea and spices. The flavor matrix touches on aspects of black tea like aromatic Earl Grey with bergamot citrus, cinnamon apple herbal tea, and some whole cloves. Mushonyi cools so well, the level of sweetness is boosted by an emerging honey sweetness, and complex acidity that has elements of citrus and strawberry. The cup flavors of Mushonyi at Full City are oriented around dark cacao/chocolate bass notes, and ribbons of caramel sugars. We thoroughly enjoyed both City and Full City roasts as brewed coffee, the cups so vastly different. As espresso, Full City roasts are delicious and push a cinnamon-spiced chocolate flavor to the front of the cup, with a dark fruit accent note.
