Uganda Mt Elgon

This Ugandan coffee ranks right up there with the finest Kenyans (considering both countries share a border). There are two kinds of African coffee in most people's cafeworld: Ethiopian and Kenyan. And for a while, coffee growing in Uganda was almost unheard of but in the past decade or so, the country has really developed and coffee importers have taken notice.

​

And while both Kenya and Ethiopia produce some of the world's best known and loved coffees, venturing to Uganda coffee can produce wonderful results. This Ugandan is just such a high quality find! Grown in the coffee farms that surround Mount Elgon.

Its aroma is darker than an Ethiopian with a touch of Brazil nut that you can taste in the cup, but sweet and mild, and boasting a deep, earthy, woody mouthfeel. The body of the cup is fairly light, like most African coffees, but the flavor is surprisingly rich, with dark chocolate and delicious Brazil nut flavor dominating.
