Uganda Rwenzori Natural

Kasese, Uganda. Various Smallholders with Kyagalanyi Coffee. Natural Process. SL14 & SL28 Varietals. Vanilla. Brown Sugar. Black Tea.

This is our first offering from the up-and-coming coffee-producing power-house of Uganda and it is quite fun! The Rwenzori mountain range is home to some of Africa's largest mountain peaks, and elevation is a tasty variable when it comes to coffee growing too!

Various smallholders in the area, 43% of whom are women, work with Kyagalanyi Coffee for quality, processing and export. After selective picking, fresh cherries are delivered to Kyagalanyi’s washing station where they undergo traditional natural processing. Whole cherries are sun dried on raised beds to preserve fruit flavors. Regular turning encourages even drying, boosts airflow, and prevents over-fermentation. Finally, an extended drying period develops the coffee’s rich, fruity character, emphasizing berry sweetness, deep chocolate, and wine-like aromatics.

This coffee is unique and fun with vanilla aroma, light-roasted brown sugar flavor and a black-tea-like finish. We have a limited supply of this one too, so try it out!
