Nagasire

We are excited to present for the first time a coffee from Uganda on our menu, sourced from the very first harvest of Cahoots Coffee, a project rigorously led by Benjamin Jenkin, who has been established in Africa for over 10 years.

This lot comes from the village of Nagasire, on the slopes of Mount Elgon, where Cahoots has implemented a quality-focused approach that values the work of local farmers. Despite a challenging context — record cherry prices, unpredictable climate, lack of infrastructure — the team has shown great tenacity to deliver an exceptional, clean, and expressive coffee.

This lot was processed at the Kapyoma washing station, located at an altitude of 1,870 m. The cherries come from farms situated between 1,600 and 2,150 m, and are composed of about 60% SL14, 30% SL28, and 10% Nyasaland. The process is washed, mechanically depulped, and fermented underwater for about 18 hours. It is then washed in sorting channels. The import of this coffee was made possible thanks to our partners at Osito Coffee.

This round and sweet coffee is just as good in filter as it is in espresso. Its mouthfeel reminds us of fudge, with aromas of vanilla and the sweetness of a ripe peach.
