What Wave Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

Uganda Imbalu is a natural anaerobic lot from the Sironko district, on the western slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. The classic SL14 and SL28 varieties grow here at 1800–2000 m.a.s.l. on volcanic soils. Fermenting the whole cherries without oxygen before slow drying builds deep, ripe fruit and a syrupy sweetness.

In the cup: dark grape and dark cherry up front, raisin-like sweetness and a cacao finish. A bold, expressive filter coffee for anyone who loves fruit-forward cups.

How to brew

Filter: 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water (1:16) at 92–94 °C; total brew time around 2:45–3:15 on V60, Kalita or AeroPress.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Uganda, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

Recyclable packaging

“New mono-material packaging that is fully recyclable As part of this development, we are transitioning to new coffee packaging made from mono-material and fully recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)

These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

Tasting notes

…tasting notes: Dark Grape, Dark Cherry, Lollipop, Raisins, and Cacao… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
