About
This lot comes from the Yembek community, one of the highest elevation coffee producing regions in the country. Kawacom, a processing company started in 1999 in Uganda, works closely with this community, consulting with growers to determine when the cherry selection is optimal for processing. The coffee undergoes rigorous processing. After being meticulously sorted, the cherries are sealed into containers to ferment in their fruit for 24 hours. The cherries are then dried on traditional raised beds before being pulped and mechanically dried over the course of three weeks. The resulting coffee is pleasantly sweet, with a balancing, juicy acidity. Summery nectarine and sun-ripened raspberries mix with a syrupy honey sweetness to make a warm and rich cup.
