Nyabirongo, Uganda

A warm and citrusy coffee, perfect from espresso to cafetière

The Profile

Nyabirongo is a well-balanced, versatile regional lot from Uganda. It serves well both black and white, with gorgeous notes of rich toffee and blood oranges. It's smooth and sweet, tastes a lot like a chocolate orange, beloved by espresso and filter coffee drinkers alike. Warm and citric, we think Nyabirongo is the perfect autumn brew.

Playing with the recipe, we found a pleasant stewed acidity in bumping up the temperature.

The Producers

Nyabirongo is another fantastic lot from Rwenzori Coffee, a Social Enterprise that works with farmers in Uganda to achieve higher yields, better quality, and effective marketing in order to improve their productivity, income and profitability.

The coffee is produced by many smallholder producers growing in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, where the coffee station Nyabirongo is located. We think this coffee is a great example of the growing reputation Uganda has for speciality grade coffee.
