Uganda Bujuku Natural
Overview
Tracing its origins to the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, this lot from the Bujuku community showcases a refined expression of Ugandan Natural processing. We tasted a deep sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar, balanced by a structured nutty and cocoa base. A subtle lemon zest brightness provides a clean finish to the creamy texture. Produced by a B Corp certified organization dedicated to sustainable agriculture, this coffee represents a reliable profile for specialty roasters seeking a classic yet elevated cup with full-body and sweet fruity flavors.

El Salvador
El Salvador excels in varietal expression, notably Pacamara and Bourbon. Washed and honey lots consistently deliver a heavy, syrupy body with sweet, brown sugar undertones and a remarkably clean, balanced finish on the cupping table.

About Rwenzori
The Rwenzori region, often called the "Mountains of the Moon," is located in western Uganda along the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This region is famous for its high-altitude peaks and fertile volcanic soils, providing an ideal environment for Arabica coffee cultivation. Smallholder farmers in Rwenzori have increasingly focused on specialty processing methods, resulting in coffees known for their heavy body, winey acidity, and complex fruit notes. The unique microclimate, characterized by consistent rainfall and cool temperatures, ensures slow cherry maturation and high sugar development.
