UGANDA MT ELGON

Uganda Mount Elgon is one of our go to recommendations for espressos, flat white, americanos, pretty much every coffee drink. It has a fun and expressive taste profile. It has a mild citrus acidity that hits the tongue first then it transitions to almond nuttiness and smooth chocolate. Finally, the cup ends with a sweet caramel aftertaste. If you are looking to venture out from more classic coffee profiles, this is a coffee you have to try. Since we worked directly with the farmers on the processing, we aimed to deliver a coffee that is true to the washed coffee profile: clean, balanced, bright, and clear.

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, pulped and carefully fermented before being thoroughly washed and dried on raised African beds, enhancing clarity, sweetness and vibrant flavours.

Roast Level

How far we developed the roast

A medium-dark roast develops deeper sweetness, fuller body, and richer caramelised flavours while retaining some of the coffee’s inherent character. It’s roasted further than a medium profile without reaching the intense roastiness of a traditional dark roast.

Preferred Extraction

How we think this coffee shines best

Best extracted as espresso, where its sweetness, body, and intensity can shine through in a concentrated cup. Its fuller profile also makes it an excellent choice for milk-based drinks.

Behind the Coffee

REFINING WASHED COFFEE AT ORIGIN

Uganda Mount Elgon is grown by smallholder farmers across the volcanic slopes of Mount Elgon in Mbale, within the Bugisu region. The area’s elevation and fertile volcanic soils provide a strong natural foundation for cultivating quality coffee that stays true to the character of its origin.

Working directly with the farmers, Brew Crew supported improvements in washed processing through shared knowledge, closer quality control and access to suitable equipment. Our goal was to build on the region’s existing practices and develop a cleaner, more consistent washed coffee capable of standing alongside renowned origins.

The result is a structured espresso with almond, cacao and caramel sweetness, balanced by gentle citrus brightness—a coffee shaped by Mount Elgon and developed through genuine collaboration
