About the producer

Bantu Blossom Rwenzori

comes from the high-altitude Rwenzori region of Uganda, grown between 1,500 and 2,000 meters by around 200 smallholder farmers cultivating SL14 and SL28. The rich volcanic soil and ideal climate result in a vibrant, balanced cup.

Cherries are picked fully ripe, floated to remove defects, and sun-dried on raised beds at Agri Evolve’s Nyabirongo station. Careful processing and sorting ensure quality and consistency.

Agri Evolve supports farmers with training, tools, and community initiatives—improving coffee quality and livelihoods across the region.

About the varietal

SL14 + SL28

SL14 is a drought-resistant varietal developed in Kenya, now widely grown in Uganda. It produces a smooth, balanced cup with mild acidity and notes of chocolate, nuts, or soft fruits, depending on the region.

SL18 is a high-quality Kenyan varietal known for its complex flavors and disease resistance. Expect juicy acidity, full body, and vibrant notes like blackcurrant, citrus, and florals.

Process

Washed Process

The washed coffee process, also known as the wet process, involves removing the coffee cherries' outer skin and pulp before the beans are dried. First, the cherries are harvested and sorted to remove any unripe or defective ones. Then, they are pulped, separating the beans from the fruit. The beans are fermented in water for 12 to 48 hours to break down the mucilage, a sticky layer surrounding them. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed to remove any remaining residue. Finally, the clean beans are dried, either in the sun or using mechanical dryers, before being hulled, sorted, and prepared for export. This method produces a cleaner, brighter flavor in the final coffee.
