This coffee is a unique microlot sourced from farming communities across the district of Sironko, along the fertile foothills of Mount Elgon at 1800-2000 masl in eastern Uganda. Smallholders deliver their harvest to The Coffee Yard, a large drying facility established by producer Norman Mukuru. With nearly 2 decades of experience in the coffee sector, Norman founded The Coffee Yard to showcase coffees from across the region and refine post-harvest handling at scale. Since 2018, he has focused exclusively on developing natural processing methods, continuously refining drying techniques to achieve cleaner and more expressive cup profiles.
Round Hill Roastery has been roasting in Radstock, a few miles south of Bath in Somerset, since 2012, when third wave specialty coffee was still in its early days in the UK. The focus from the start has been single farm and single estate coffees, sourcing the best seasonal harvests from independent growers and cooperatives and paying a premium for distinctive character. Roast profiles are designed to highlight the dynamic flavours naturally present in each coffee. Packaging is colour coded: blue bags for filter, pink for espresso. The roastery is open for tours where visitors can watch the roasting, taste the house blend, and learn about sourcing.
