What to Expect
This natural-process Red Bourbon from Rwanda brings the fruity sweetness you'd expect from the process, but keeps it grounded with chocolate and nut. The Rwanda Trading Company has coaxed out plum and cherry without letting the cup tip into funky territory.
The Cup
Full-bodied and round, with a mouthfeel that leans toward creamy rather than tea-like. The natural process adds weight and a soft, jammy texture. Acidity is moderate and malic — think red fruit rather than citrus sharpness — which keeps the cup approachable without flattening it. This is a clean natural: the fermented fruit character is present but restrained, so you get berry sweetness without the boozy funk that divides opinion.
Who This Is For
If you like fruit-forward coffees but want something you can drink every day without fatigue, this fits. The chocolate and almond notes make it versatile and easy to return to.
If you're after bright, citric acidity or a light, delicate body, this won't deliver that.
Best for: Filter and espresso drinkers who want fruity sweetness with enough body to feel satisfying.
How to Brew This Coffee
The full body and moderate acidity make this well-suited to Filter methods, where the chocolate and stone fruit notes can develop without muddiness. It works beautifully as Espresso — the natural process adds sweetness and body that hold up under pressure. For a richer, more textured cup that emphasises the plum and almond character, try it in a French Press.

Ways to Brew
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
-
French Press
A French Press (or Cafetiere) is a simple, manual coffee maker that brews rich, full-bodied coffee by steeping coarse grounds in hot water, then separating them by pressing a mesh filter down with a plunger, allowing the coffee's natural oils and sediment to remain for a bolder flavour.
