Sironko

Summary

A fruit-forward microlot from farming communities in the Sironko district of eastern Uganda, along the foothills of Mount Elgon at 1800-2000 masl. Smallholders deliver harvest to The Coffee Yard, a drying facility founded by producer Norman Mukuru. The coffee is an anaerobic natural process: ripe cherries are sorted, fermented in sealed barrels for up to 100 hours, then dried slowly on African raised beds. Varieties are SL14 and SL28. Flavour notes include watermelon, cherry drops and strawberry lassi.
