Burundi Kayanza

The aroma feels balanced. The chocolatey side and the floral side come through together. But if I swirl the server, I can sniff the floral aroma more clearly.

Since the first cup, I’ve only brewed these hot. When I sip, it starts with acidity and ends with sweetness. A kind of plum hits first on the palate, but later it tastes drier—like raisin. And there’s a touch of dark chocolate at the end. It makes a contrast and is interesting…

I haven’t tried brewing these beans as an iced pour-over yet. If I get to have these beans again, that’s the first thing I’d try.
