This Sironko coffee is grown on the slopes of Mount Elgon in Uganda at altitudes between 1250 and 1850 meters. It is a washed coffee featuring the SL28 and SL34 varieties. The volcanic soil and high altitude contribute to its distinct flavor profile, which includes notes of red apple, strawberry, and chocolate. The coffee is processed at the Sironko washing plant, where cherries are selectively hand-picked, mechanically pulped, and demucilaged before being mechanically dried to a moisture level of 12%.
Atmans Coffee was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Miguel Lamora, a two time Spanish Latte Art Champion and third place finisher at the 2013 World Latte Art Championship. Miguel started his coffee career in 2004 and is considered one of the pioneers of Spain's specialty coffee scene, having served as SCA National Coordinator for Spain from 2016 to 2019. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for soul or essence, and the roastery's philosophy centres on revealing each coffee's unique character. Atmans curates its selection based on a framework of Process, Origin, and Variety, offering a wide and rotating range of specialty coffees from their base in the Les Corts neighbourhood.
