[ODD B] Kyabwire Natural - Uganda // Natural SL28 - Wild Strawberries, Tropical, Juicy
Not stated by the roaster
Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Swerl Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
Welcome to the Odd Bean collection. This project started from the idea of wanting to find a home for all the beans in our roastery that are waiting for someone to enjoy them. At the end of every week, we end up with small batches of leftover coffee beans that are carefully packed.
This is one of our ways to pursue a no-waste lifestyle and to give a longer life to the so-called odd beans. <3

Juicy and fruit-forward. Tasting like wild strawberries, with hints of tropical fruits. A beautiful expression of SL28.
Origin: Uganda Region: Kyabwire, Kazingo - Rwenzori Mountains, Western Uganda Producer: 11 Farmers from the Kyabwire village Elevation: 1700 - 1900 masl Variety: SL28 Process: Natural
Coffees are floated and sorted 3 times before processing. The cherries are then fermented in sealed barrels for 48-72h until reaching a pH of 3.5. Dried on raised beds for 4-7 days until reaching a moisture content of around 20%. They are then stored in bags and undergo a second fermentation of 120h in a dark environment to enhance a higher sugar level before being brought out to dry again for another 15-20 days until moisture reaches 10%.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
What Swerl Coffee Roasters says about itself
Fairtrade
“Traceability, fair trade and ethically sourced have become buzz words in the industry this past decade but if we had to sum up Swerl into two words it’s likely seasonality and relationships.” their page (opens in a new tab)
Direct trade
“Grateful for all the work everyone does, from our direct trade partners in Brazil the Barreto family, the amazing work of the importer Semilla helping to build producer-run collectives at origin, to single producers like Jhon Jairo in Colombia dedicated to quality, community and consistency.” 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.

Altitude, highest

A further 3 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.
