【Impression】
Clear and light body, Floral jasmine like aroma, airy soothing texture.  Ruby grapefruit like acidity mixed with goose berry, apricot sweetness with a tip of honey, short and light aftertaste.  Delicate feathery touch of bitterness after well harmonized thick layer of citrus acidity bottomed with mellow sweetness.

【About Muyongwe washing station】
Muyongwe is a washing station has been built as a part of Tuzamure Kawa cooperative system in 2006, located in the Gakenke district of the Northern Rwanda Province.  The coffee at Muyongwe is processed in the Kenyan style, meaning they de-pulp, separate quality by weight, ferment for 12 hours, wash vigorously 4-5 times, ferment for another 12 hours, wash, separate quality by density, and then soak for 24 hours. Finally, the coffee is dried on raised beds.
In 2007, Muyongwe earned the first place in Rwanda Golden cup and earned a reputation for its high quality.  Since then, Tuzamure Kawa has become the core member in COE competition.
