Flavor Notes // Blue Raspberry. Dried Cranberry. Chocolate Mousse

The Cyato is fruit-forward and balanced, hitting up front with the candy sweetness of Blue Raspberry Jolly Rancher. As the coffee cools, it mellows to the bright sweetness of dried cranberry, and the creamy velvet texture of chocolate mousse on the finish. This is an excellent option for anyone who enjoys a fruit-forward, naturally processed coffee. 

The Cyato Washing station sits in the high mountains just northeast of Lake Kivu and is a part of the Abadatezuka Cooperative. Coop members travel from their small farms in the mountains with their cherries to the Cyato washing station for processing. The proximity to the lake creates the perfect environment for producing coffee; the fertile soil and cooler temperatures mean that producers do not need to rely on additional inputs for pest control or fertilization. This, coupled with the pollination provided by native honeybees, gives coffee from this region its unique terroir that includes both dried and fresh berries, black tea, and cocoa.
