Today's coffee is courtesy of Oren's Daily Roast, out of New York City. Their coffees were highlighted at the recent CoffeeCON, and I tried the Burundi Kayanza Gatare in two different methods: French Press and Drip.
The farmers who grow this coffee are using a Bourbon varietal, which usually has a more citrus like flavor. So how was it? This is some GOOD coffee. First I used the French Press. As usual, I think there is a mellower flavor with this brewing method. I got a lot of sweetness out of the coffee. When I used the Drip, the sweetness was still there, but there was also a different flavor...almost a maple like quality. Whatever it was I liked it brewed in either method.
This is a lighter roast than I usually drink, but it had plenty of punch. On our face slapping scale, this is an 8. It wakes you up and gets you going.
Well done Oren's!
