Bourbon Mayaguez 139

Bourbon Mayaguez 139 — A Bourbon accession whose name reflects the route it is thought to have taken: from Central America through the USDA germplasm collection at Mayaguez in Puerto Rico and later to Mulungu, from where the Rwanda Agricultural Board evaluated and promoted it.

Flavor Profile

Caramel, nuts and citrus peel over rounded acidity and a full body, with sweetness that lingers.

Brewing Tip

Pour-over at 90-92 °C, 1:15, medium-fine grind, staged pours, to keep clarity and sweetness forward.
