Summary:
We did the tasting and roasting seed to cup tour through TripAdvisor with Patti and had the most amazing time. She is warm and kind not to mention incredibly knowledgable about Rwanda, Question Coffee, and coffee in general. She is an excellent storyteller and so talented at her craft. If you’re booking, request Patti and you won’t regret it.
