Uganda Bugisu – Single Origin Fresh Roasted Coffee

Roast Level: Medium

Details: Bugisu is a region in eastern Uganda where coffee is grown at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 2,600 meters, on the slopes of Mount Elgon, an extinct volcano on the border with Kenya that is thought to be the oldest volcano on the African continent. Volcanic soils, plentiful rain, high altitude and abundant sunshine are all contributing factors to the excellent terroir of the Mt Elgon region. Bugisu are processed by smallholder farmers themselves on their plots, as opposed to the more typical central processing stations found in East Africa.

A nice classic and clean African. A bit lower acidity and fuller bodied. These beans present a more neutral tasting African best around the medium to dark roasts. Will have more character to it than your standard Brazil’s and many of the Central American coffees. Good on its own for a classic daily drinker!

Almost all of Uganda is suitable to growing coffee, but the Ugandan people need our support to improve their processing mills, afford certifications, and attract larger buyers so that their industry can continue to grow and get better reputations in the industry.  Supporting this co-op’s efforts is essentially supporting all of Ugandan’s specialty coffee industry, and every year this crop tastes better and gets bigger.  It’s a mug of coffee you can really be happy about. 

Uganda beans make stellar cold brew. It's our favorite of all origins for a chocolate brownie tasting delicious cold brew!
