Uganda: Bugisu, Sipi Falls
27 in stock
On the slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda, Bugisu smallholders cultivate heirloom Bourbon/Typica lines under shade, delivering ripe cherries to cooperative wet mills for clean washed processing and raised‑bed drying. Careful prep yields naturally sweet, tidy parchment that thrives just shy of dark. Taken to a medium–dark curve, this Organic lot develops a cocoa‑to‑dark‑chocolate core; cane sugars lean to toffee and caramel; and roasted‑almond/walnut notes round the mid‑palate. The texture drinks velvety and cohesive; acidity stays low and smoothly integrated, supporting a chocolate‑forward line. Expect a long, tidy cocoa‑nut finish—polished, steady, and quietly distinctive Bugisu.
