What's in the bag

250 grams of unroasted Uganda Arabica green beans, natural processed. The cherry is picked ripe in the Rwenzori Mountains and dried whole in the sun on raised beds. The fruit dries around the bean over two to three weeks, pulling sweetness and body into the seed. After drying, the outer layers are stripped, and the green bean inside is hand-sorted. Nothing added. Raw coffee, ready for your roaster.

How it roasts

Natural Arabica from the Rwenzoris gives you a different cup than washed. More body. More fruit. A medium roast keeps the brightness and pulls dried plum, dark chocolate, and a clean brown sugar finish. Roast it darker and the chocolate deepens while the body gets heavier. Either way you get a smooth mouthfeel and good acidity. Good on its own as a single origin. Also works in a blend where you want fruit notes without losing body.

Where it comes from

The Rwenzori Mountains run along Uganda's western border with Congo. Coffee grows on the slopes between 1,500 and 2,200 metres in volcanic soil. Nonda buys directly from smallholder farmers in the region. The beans are dried at the farm level, hulled at a central station, and hand-sorted before packing.
