Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, cocoa-toned. Baking chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, red grape, cedar in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Caramelly finish with undertones of hazelnut and cedar.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed at the Heza Washing Station by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). BigFace Coffee is NBA player Jimmy Butler’s lifestyle brand. Visit www.bigfacebrand.com for more information.

Bottom Line

This nuanced washed Burundi is part of NBA player Jimmy Butler’s Covid startup. A classic Burundi cup, it has a crisply chocolaty, sweet nutty profile with some backbone from tannic red grape notes.
