Uganda Rwenzori Washed Filter Roast

Uganda Rwenzori Washed

Here is our only washed coffee roasted for filter brewing, from the Rwenzori Mountains. It is easy to overlook well-produced washed coffees, with the incredible natural processed coffees that we are seeing.  This might not be the holy grail of speciality but buying coffee isn’t all about buying the top 1% and selling it for telephone numbers.

Over the last four years, we have slowly increased our buying from Uganda and it is becoming a highlight in the calendar. You would be excused for mistaking this for a Kenya-in filter. It’s a bold claim, I know but this is such a great, light and clean fruity brew.

Cup Potential 🥣

Aromatics: Prmise of fruit| Body: Light| Acidity: Currants and soft citrus|

On opening, this is bright and sweet, like redcurrants and raspberries. The liquor sweetens and the initial acidity fades. The soft red fruity acidity finally melts into one, with a soft fruity, cocoa finish.

In a batch brew filter, this is just the easiest coffee that empties itself from the flask, like a great Kenya. Truly, the easiest coffee to quaff.

Local/ Farm Info

This coffee comes to us via the Rwenzori Coffee Company and Omwani. This is the sum of many smallholder farmers, with great processing. I have written a little more here, to save you from having to read the same words on 3 different products from the same mill. These are exciting times indeed for Ugandan coffee.
