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. 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. This is not what we consider a "delicate" coffee such as a very high grown El Salvador or Panama, so if roasted light, it will not produce the almost perfume-like aroma like one would expect out of a high quality Central American estate coffee. Instead, it should be roasted rather hard to produce a vibrant boldness in both flavor and aroma (don't burn or scorch, of course!).
Note: this is unroasted green coffee
