What can you taste in Ugandan coffee?
Ugandan Arabica is rich, complex and often surprisingly fruity. Depending on the region and processing method, you can discover these flavours, among others:
- Mount Elgon Coffee: Bright and lively with notes of red berry, citrus and flowers, perfect for filter coffee.
- Rwenzori coffee (natural processed): full and sweet with ripe flavors of raisin, plum, dark chocolate and a hint of tropical fruit.
- Bugisu coffee (washed): round and balanced with a medium body and classic flavours of cocoa, almond and light spiciness.
These coffees are perfect for adventurous coffee drinkers who love to explore new flavors.
Uganda and specialty coffee
In recent years, Uganda has become a serious player in the specialty coffee world. Through training, better processing stations and direct trade, more and more microlots with unique characteristics are created. Farmers work with care on quality, sustainability and transparency in the chain, resulting in coffees with their own identity.
At Koffie Kenner we only choose the best lots from local cooperatives and have them roasted by European top roasters. This way you get a truly unique cup of coffee at home.
