Uganda: Gamatui Washed

Uganda has been a quiet coffee producing region in the past - many overlook these coffees because of a reputation for low acidity and flavor. Kawacom, a processing company started in 1999 in Uganda, is looking to change that reputation. Since their beginnings, they have invested in this region, Kapchorwa, home to some of the highest elevation coffee farms in the country. What results is producers devoted to quality with a processing station that matches their enthusiasm. This washed process is a versatile coffee, with sweetness that is soft and light. We love its marshmallow-like sugary notes that pair with the round juiciness of honeydew melon.
