Uganda Bugisu Single origin

Uganda Bugisu – Single Origin

Uganda Bugisu – Single Origin comes from the Bugisu region of Eastern Uganda on Mount Elgon. This fully washed coffee combines lively citrus acidity with floral honey sweetness, brown spice and subtle nutty character.

Bright lemon and black tea form the foundation of the cup, developing into brown sugar, dark chocolate and dried fruit. As the coffee cools, orange zest, sweet grapes and plum wine emerge, followed by deeper fig and chocolate richness.

With a medium to full body and smooth, syrupy texture, this is an expressive coffee that rewards careful filter brewing and offers a bright, fruit-forward espresso character.
