After sitting on an unused Uganda label for 3 years, we’re thrilled to be able to run a couple of great lots back to back to introduce this new origin to our lineup. The largest coffee exporting country in Africa, Uganda can often fly under the radar because the overwhelming majority of coffee grown is Robusta, however there are a few distinct areas of higher altitude that are more well suited for growing Arabica. This particular lot comes from Nyabirongo, in the southern slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, bordering the DRC. Here in this region hundreds of smallholders deliver SL14 & SL28 cherry to Agri Evolve at the Nyabirongo factory. These SL varieties you may recognize from neighboring Kenya, renowned for their bright florals and distinct acidity, and in this case make an absolutely great showcasing of how excellent Ugandan coffee can be.

Isabella I. ★★★★★

Pulled a shot with this and the sweetness balanced the bitterness just right, even without milk. It's a solid everyday bean from an origin I'd never tried before, and I'm glad I took the chance.

Eva L. ★★★★★

First crack through the bag and the aroma hit me right away—so sweet and round, nothing like the usual Ugandan beans I’ve tried. The cup is clean but has this deep, almost honeyed body that makes it perfect for a slow morning pour-over. Definitely ordering another lot before it’s gone.

Chloe D. ★★★★★

The brightness really cuts through in this one—clean, tea-like body with a crisp finish that lingers just right. Brewed it in a pour-over and it stayed balanced from hot to cool. Glad they finally dusted off that Uganda label, because this one's a keeper.
