Uganda Bugisu Sipi Falls (Organic)
Uganda is a unique coffee growing region. It is landlocked and strife with political unrest. Despite this, the Ugandans know how to produce good coffee and have been doing so for a long time, but with very primitive milling equipment. This coffee is not the cleanest and must be picked through for an occasional corn kernel, but the extra work is definitely worth it. Very bold, typical of African coffees from this region.
Cup Characteristics:
Malty at a darker roast with cedar-pine like overtones. Strong finish and high on caffeine.
Roasting Tips: Full City seems to be the sweet spot. Spend a little time picking out the beans that don't look right, and the result is a powerful tasting cup.
Note: this is unroasted green coffee |
