The hard Arabica beans originating from Bugisu are a real treasure for that dark roast. Bugisu is a region in eastern Uganda and coffee there is grown at moderately high elevations (1,300 to 2,600 meters) on the slopes of Mount Elgon. Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa sharing borders with Kenya, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Hints of chocolate with notes of prunes and cloves and finishing with a medium fruity acidity dark roast, rich buttery texture and heavier in body with nutty notes and a finish of cocoa and cherry.
