Have I mentioned I love African coffee? Unusual cup characteristics and old-world milling processes yield bright, snappy naturals and smokey, spice-laden washed varietals. Throughout the the year, we experience the entire range of smooth sweet lingering finishes and brisk forward flavors that African coffees are famous for. Your Uganda Bugisu has proved an exceptionally powerful, solid coffee, tamed by a luxurious graham cracker and honey quality, bathed in bittersweet chocolate.
The over-sized flavors are marvelous when hot with a wild, woodsy and rustic quality hiding underneath. The textures become velvety and luscious as the cup cools, with hints of lemon in the finish. Tending toward a darker roast, the earthy qualities add just the right complexity without overwhelming the cup. With the heat of the summer sun upon us, this is my number one choice for iced coffee.
