So when we started Neem, one of the first thing we did was to reach out to Sundog Coffee. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"278\" data-start=\"98\"\u003eThis Red Bourbon reminded us of tons of red, orange fruit like apple, apricot and pomegranate. As cools down, it turns into straight apple juice which we were really fan of, imagine drinking a cup of apple\/ apricot juice with pomegranate acidity sprinkled on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"278\" data-start=\"98\"\u003eThis coffee underwent slightly tweaked washed processing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"278\" data-start=\"98\"\u003eIt started with 8hr in-cherry fermentation and de-pulped. \u003cbr\u003eAfter that went through Rwanda's unique drying stage called 'skin drying' for 12-72hrs on the shaded beds. What happens is that it goes through drying phase more gently and slowly because of shades which helps producers to do more rigorous sorting while drying. It is a critical step because during this sorting with parchment being wet, it is easy to spot certain defects which thought to cause '\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003epotato defects\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"278\" data-start=\"98\"\u003e*Little about potato defects, it has nothing to do with actual root vegetable, but it just smells and tastes like raw potatoes.\u003cbr\u003eThere was a period of time when coffee buyers avoided buying from Rwanda, Burundi and DRC because of this defect. It is to this day, not yet known what actually causes this defect. Baho Coffee, the exporting company from Rwanda, has implemented multiple stages of hand sorting during process to eliminate this defect and because of their hard work, the frequency is very rare.\u003cbr\u003eBut we recommend smelling the grounds after every grinding to make sure it doesn't smell like potato. If it does, purge the grinder and dose another round of coffee. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"278\" data-start=\"98\"\u003eWe highly recommend\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eresting it for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eat least three weeks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"350\" data-start=\"280\"\u003eOur brew guide will be up on Instagram(@neemcoffeeproject) soon, so be sure to check it out!\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInformation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer : 115 smallholders\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcessing : Washed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety : Red Bourbon \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRegion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNyaruguru District, Southern Province\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry : Rwanda\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eImporting partner : Exporter- Baho coffee, Importer- Sundog coffee\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Neem Coffee Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43359732760665,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/2776\/4569\/files\/FugiIkizere.png?v=1780006775","url":"https:\/\/neemcoffee.com\/products\/rwanda-fugi-ikizere","provider":"Neem Coffee Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
