About this coffee

Origin: Uganda Region : Mount Elgon Farm: The Coffee Garden Processing: Washed Variety: SL14 · SL28 Altitude: 1800-2200 m a.s.l. ABOUT THE COFFEE Uganda Butawa is a microlot selected at the Coffee Garden washing station, which processes cherries from local farmers growing coffee at altitudes of 1,800–2,200 m a.s.l. The SL14 and SL28 varieties underwent classic African wet processing. From the very first sip, this coffee is surprising – its profile closely resembles beans from Kenya. Redcurrant dominates the aroma, complemented by a delicate floral background. In the cup, the currant notes are distinct, rounded out by hints of slightly underripe green apple and yellow mirabelle plum. The acidity is intense, reminiscent of currant and apple, with moderate fruit sweetness and a long, fresh finish. This is another highly successful lot from Coffee Garden. The Coffee Yard is a company owned by Norman Mukuru, who has collaborated with The Coffee Gardens for years on projects related to coffee processing and traceability. Thanks to this relationship, his beans can be exported to global markets. Norman operates at the foot of Mount Elgon, sourcing coffee from the Sironko, Mbale, Bulambuli, and Kapchorwa regions. He has nearly 20 years of experience and, since 2018, has also been developing natural processing, constantly refining his methods. This is another coffee from this station—polished and standing out with a slightly different profile than previous batches. Store in a cold and dry space.
