This coffee is grown at 1600 meters above sea level in the foothills of Uganda’s Rwenzori Mountains. Produced by smallholder farmers in the Kasese region, this natural processed coffee features a blend of SL14, SL28, and regional landrace varieties. The cup profile is sweet and rounded, offering vibrant tropical fruit notes of mango, balanced by lemon zest and a soft vanilla sponge cake sweetness. It is suitable for various brewing methods, including V60, AeroPress, and espresso.
Hard Lines started as a small Aeropress pop up bar serving filter coffee in Cardiff and grew over several years into one of Wales's best known specialty roasters. The roastery operates out of Gwaelod y Garth, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, using two Loring eco friendly roasters: an S35 Kestrel and an S15 Falcon. They run three locations in the Cardiff area, including a café in Penylan inspired by Italian neighbourhood coffee bars. The offering rotates with seasonal fresh crop arrivals, and the brand's distinctive smiley face identity was developed with designer Cadilane.
