Bold, full body, with a hint of bakers chocolate
City Roast
This single-origin Arabica coffee comes from our friends on the slopes of Mt. Elgon in Eastern Uganda. We've worked with them for years, and now you can too.
Farmers on individual family-owned plots of land on the slopes of Mt. Elgon (Kenya-Uganda border) hand-pick the ripe and red coffee "cherries" and within hours the fruits are pulped at the Gibuzaale washing station (6,100 ft), then soaked for about 2 days before natural drying under the sun. The remaining dried "parchment" around the green coffee bean is removed down the mountain in the town of Mbale. Ready-for-roast green beans are then transported by truck across the Uganda-Kenya border at Malaba and across Kenya to the port of Mombasa; shipped by sea to US; roasted locally in New York or Chicago.
Excellent for drip brew machines and makes an amazing single origin espresso.
