This coffee is sourced from the Kigezi Valley in the Western Region of Uganda, grown by a network of over 300 smallholder farmers at an altitude of 2000 to 2200 meters. The beans are a blend of SL14, SL28, Nyasaland, and Bugisu varieties. Processed using an anaerobic natural method, this coffee offers a clean, intense profile with flavor notes of cherry, hibiscus, and Black Forest cake.
