This coffee is sourced from the Kajere community of smallholder farmers on the slopes of Mount Elgon in Eastern Uganda. Grown at an altitude of 1900-2000 meters in volcanic soil, this coffee features the Nyasaland, SL-14, and SL-28 varieties. It is processed using the Yellow Honey method at the Kajere Station. The flavor profile is bright and clean, characterized by notes of Granny Smith apple, brown sugar, and a subtle macadamia nut finish.
Boon Boona is the real deal if you want to connect with where coffee actually comes. Founded by Efrem Fesaha after a trip to Eritrea, the roastery bridges Seattle’s coffee scene with the East African community rituals he grew up around. They source exclusively from African producers, often prioritizing women-owned farms, so you know your money is going to the right place. It’s a way to drink amazing coffee while supporting a business that treats the bean (and the people who grow it) with total respect.
