Mt. Rwenzori

Description

Mt. Rwenzori represents the pinnacle of Ugandan Arabica coffee — a specialty-grade offering (84+) known for its vibrant acidity, refined fruit-forward character, and exceptional clarity in the cup. Cultivated on the mist-covered slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, often called the “Mountains of the Moon,” this coffee grows at altitudes between 1,600–2,200 meters, where the rich volcanic soil and cool climate nurture slow bean maturation for optimal sweetness and complexity.

Each batch of Mt. Rwenzori is handpicked, sun-dried, and meticulously sorted to preserve its purity and distinct regional identity. The natural process enhances its inherent fruitiness and body, delivering a clean yet expressive flavor profile that rivals some of the finest East African coffees.

Flavor Profile:
Mt. Rwenzori offers a bright and juicy cup with notes of red berries, plum, and tropical fruit, complemented by hints of floral aroma and dark chocolate. Its crisp acidity and smooth mouthfeel create a well-structured, balanced experience that appeals to specialty coffee enthusiasts.
