How it sits among coffee from Uganda

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Uganda: 173 of 253 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Podda & Wren describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Uganda; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

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

What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Uganda, Congo

Region

Kivu

Variety

Red Bourbon

Altitude

1500 to 1800 m

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, process, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

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.

Species

“Much like Uganda as well, sadly the region has often had a lot of poverty and lack of infrastructure, meaning that high quality arabica has often not been exported; but with speciality roasters buying more and more from D.R.C, we hopefully will see their infrastructure improve and poverty reduce.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Congo is bordered in the north by Uganda, an often popular origin of ours, so may be an evocative flavour note for many of our well-versed loyalists, with the Virunga National Park giving plenty of rainfall and highly fertile volcanic soil, much like the Rwenzori National Park across the border.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

…before P&W, and we've finally found something to share from the Mutendero Washing Station in North Kivu. part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

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.
