Blind Assessment

Intense, high-toned aroma: flowers, butterscotch, orange. In the cup wine-like acidity, deep body and a continued buttery, honeyed, giddily floral character complicated by tart cherry, orange and pipe tobacco notes. Long, rich, flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

The coffee cooperatives of Rwanda, benefiting from superb growing conditions, traditional varieties of arabica and support from aid agencies and coffee idealists, are beginning to produce coffees that rank among the world's finest and most distinctive. This coffee, like many produced in Rwanda, is certified Fair Trade, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. Allegro Coffee, a subsidiary of Whole Foods Market, offers one of the country's largest selections of single-origin coffees. Visit www.allegrocoffee.com or call 800-277-1107 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Social idealists who perceive no contradiction between the pure and the voluptuous.
