RADICAL TRANSPARENCY

KNOW YOUR LOT

Every number — and every note — behind this coffee, published. Tap a metric to see what it means and why it matters.

Origins

Where this coffee comes from

Uganda has a rich coffee-growing heritage and is one of Africa’s leading coffee-producing countries, with its diverse landscapes contributing to a distinctive East African coffee identity.

Region

Where within the origin it was grown

Located on the slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda, Bugisu is one of the country’s most established Arabica coffee-growing regions. Its mountainous landscape and long coffee-growing tradition have made it an important part of Uganda’s specialty coffee identity.

Producer

Who grew or produced this coffee

We work directly with smallholder farmers at origin, collaborating closely on processing and quality to bring out the best in their coffee. This hands-on partnership gives us greater involvement from farm to cup while supporting the people behind each harvest.

Variety

The coffee variety grown / What this blend is made from

SL14 is valued for its resilience and strong cup character, while SL28 is prized for its exceptional quality and complexity. Together, they contribute to a coffee with a distinctive and expressive profile.

Altitude

How high this coffee was grown

Grown at 1,700 metres above sea level, the cooler conditions at this elevation slow coffee cherry development, allowing more time for complexity and character to develop in the cup.

Process

How the coffee was processed after harvest

Ripe cherries are handpicked and carefully laid out on raised African drying beds under the sun for 3 weeks to naturally concentrate sweetness.

Roast Level

How far we developed the roast

A medium roast aims to balance the coffee’s natural character with sweetness and body developed during roasting. It creates a rounded, approachable cup while still allowing the coffee’s inherent qualities to come through.

Preferred Extraction

How we think this coffee shines best

This coffee is roasted to perform well across both espresso and filter brewing, offering enough structure and intensity for espresso while retaining the clarity and character needed for filter.

BUILT TOGETHER IN BUGISU
Behind the Coffee

BUILT TOGETHER IN BUGISU

Uganda Caldera Reserve is the result of our direct partnership with smallholder farmers in Mbale, Bugisu. Rather than simply selecting a finished coffee, we worked alongside the farmers at origin, sharing knowledge, supporting access to processing equipment and helping develop the natural process used for this lot.

That closer involvement allowed us to contribute more closely to quality development from an earlier stage and bring greater attention to the potential of coffee from this region. The result is a sweet, rounded cup with rich chocolate, sugarcane sweetness and a lively touch of stone fruit.

More than a coffee we sourced, Uganda Caldera Reserve is one we helped build—together with the people behind the harvest.
