Our coffee comes from the highlands of eastern Uganda. This area, Kapchorwa, is increasingly recognised as a globally important region for quality coffee. Our coffee is derived from SL14 and SL28 Arabica varieties providing a balance between a clean, bright flavour and mixed with fruit (light roast) and chocolate (medium roast).

Our main focus is on showcasing the terroir of the regions from which we buy coffee. For Uganda, this means clean cup profiles (not crazily fruity like you can get from some Ethiopian coffees) with solid roast development (typically slightly more development than many speciality roasters).

For our espresso blends you can expect a medium roast that shows well through milk while maintaining a bright flavour profile as straight espresso or as a long black.

For our filter coffee we roast lighter to showcase the best of the coffee. For our natural process beans from Uganda this typically means a really clean cup profile with a slight background sweetness. For our washed process beans this comes through as a clean cup with a small amount of fruit coming through.
