This coffee is sourced from the slopes of Mt. Elgon in eastern Uganda, where smallholder farmers cultivate Arabica varieties including SL14, SL28, SL34, Nyasaland, KP142, and KP630 at altitudes reaching 1850 meters. The coffee is processed using a washed method and mechanically dried in temperature-controlled chambers to ensure consistency and a clean cup profile. It offers a balanced flavor profile with notes of maple brown sugar oatmeal, roasted almonds, and orange rind, characterized by a smooth finish.

Hyperion Coffee is a specialty roastery in Ypsilanti, Michigan, founded in 2015 by Eric Mullins, Dan Kubera and Alex Merz. Named after the Greek Titan of light, the roastery was built on three pillars: relationships, science and education. Kubera roasts on a 10 kilo Ambex, sourcing directly from small independent producers including Ariel Fúnez in Honduras, with every coffee listing varietal, elevation, processing method and farm name. The team cups roughly 30 samples in a single morning session as part of their daily quality routine.
