Never tried a bean from Rwanda, so this should be fun.
There's some Rwanda at my local shop right now (Octane in ATL).
Please report back!

I'm all over the map when it comes to growing regions. Lately I've been enjoying a nice Tarrazu from Costa Rica.
As far as brewing methods, I've got most everything you could imagine at home but I mostly use either a Chemex or Clever dripper.
How do you like the Clever? What is the noticeable difference between pour over and immersion?
Emailed Macaroni Island two days ago and still haven't heard anything about them beans. I'm gonna feel real shitty filing a paypal dispute against a non-profit.

Yeah, dude, that's kinda messed up. I hope they send you your coffee quick.

It's great!
I'm no good at describing things.
But it had... good smells.
And good tastes.
It was good.

Rwanda is great. It's very floral, but without being as perfumy as Yirgacheffe, and with less black currant tones than Kenya. Nice lemony acidity, but not too high. Really good all round coffee that works with most brewing methods. Smooth.

This was exactly what I meant!
Hahaha.
Not really, I'm quite the novice when it comes to describing coffees.
Thanks for expressing that, it all sounds accurate.

Got some Columbia Narino Excelso I'm into right now. Very butter-y and brown sugar-y. I discovered a local roaster and love getting coffee the day it was roasted.

I'm bummed it took so long for you to get it, but I'm stoked you've got it.
I hope you love it!
