Rwenzori Mountains
Summary
High-altitude coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda, grown between 1,400 and 2,200 metres by smallholders of the Bakonzo community. Volcanic soils, extreme altitude and constant rainfall favour the SL28 and SL14 varieties. Cherries are selectively hand-picked and the coffee is fully washed at the Nyabirongo washing station, managed by Agri Evolve. In the cup it shows white chocolate, pear and almond, with a honeyed finish, juicy acidity and a creamy body.
