BLACKCURRANT | CARAMEL | MILK CHOCOLATE
UPPER BUKYABO, UGANDA
We haven't had a Ugandan on the shelf for a long time and when we cupped this Beauty , we were so excited to get it in the roaster and explore its flavour potential. Sweet, balanced, bursting with caramel notes. Really great option for filter brews and pour overs.
More About The Coffee Gardens
"The Coffee Gardens was established in 2017 with the goal of producing incredible specialty coffee in an ethical way, offering a transparent and direct link between coffee farmers and coffee consumers.
The Coffee Gardens have been working with the farmers who produced this micro-lot for the past five years. This micro-lot is named after the village Zebugu-Busi, where many of the farmers live.
Mr Masaba Charles from Zebugu-Busi was one of the biggest contributors to this micro-lot with 512 KG of red ripe coffee cherries. Within hours of being picked, coffee cherries are carried down to our station in 50 kg bags by "runners" - a team of over 160 women and men employed from the local community.
This coffee is pulped before undergoing a fermentation method involving a pre-wash, a long soak in cold mountain spring water, and then a gentle long fermentation lasting forty hours before a final wash."
