点评:I spent a Tuesday morning wandering through Kimironko Market around 11 AM while it was sunny outside, and the highlight was definitely the coffee stall in the back corner. The gentleman running it had huge sacks of roasted whole beans, and he spent a good fifteen minutes letting me smell different roasts before scooping out half a kilogram of local Bourbon beans. He weighed it out on this big vintage balance scale, ground it coarsely right in front of me for my French press, and carefully sealed it into a heavy bag for about 12,000 RWF. It smelled incredible, and he was so patient explaining the diference in altitudes where the beans were grown. It felt like a very unique experience connecting with someone who really loved his craft. The aisles of fresh mangoes and bright fabrics right outside his booth were great to pass by on the way out too, with everyone exchanging cheerful hellos.
