FINALLY , WHEAT GRASSED BLUE MOUNTAIN HAS ARRIVED. A very interesting and fairly clean natural from a high altitude region in Uganda , one of very few in the country. Mountain Harvest started working in the Kigezi Highlands, with a local producer group there called Kigezi Valley Coffee (KVC). This has been a small and very precise initiative, with only 300 smallholders belonging to KVC, but with Mountain Harvest’s full suite of expertise applied.
Tasting Notes: Lavender , Raspberry , Gummy Bears
Funk: 2/5
Varietal: Nyasaland [Typica lineage directly related to Jamaica Blue Mountain Typica]
Region: Kigezi, South Western Uganda
Process: Minimal intervention natural - Ripe cherries were delivered daily by farmers, sorted for impurities, and moved immediately to raised screen beds to dry. While drying the cherry was consistently rotated and monitored until reaching the final 11% moisture content, at which point the dried pods were transported to Mountain Harvest’s temperature controlled warehose in Mbale to cure and stabilize for two full months.
Altitude: 2200 masl
Importer: Royal Coffee
