Uganda Engagi (Aug - Sep 2021)
Regular price $16.00Uganda is one of the few countries in the world that has native coffee growing, most of which is Robusta. It is one of the largest coffee producer in the world, and coffee is an enormous part of Uganda's export economy. Though largely known for its Robusta, Uganda also produces Arabica, although it remains relatively small. The fertile soils, microclimates and terrain makes some parts of the country ideal for producing high quality Arabica beans.
The growing regions in Uganda are not always well or clearly defined, but can be mainly grouped into the following regions: Bugisu, West Nile, Western Uganda, and Central Lowlands.
Our coffee this month comes from the lands surrounding the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (a UNESCO-World Heritage Site). This is located in the South-Western region of Uganda, and contains very fertile volcanic soil.
We taste notes of dried pineapples, a juicy mouthfeel and a light-medium body with a balanced acidity.
As our #dYScover beans are roasted specially, and separately from the rest of our offerings, we only have limited quantities per month! If you have ever thought or wondered about specialty coffee from Uganda, do make sure you give this a try soon!
There are so many different types of coffee grown in various regions of the world, with each region tasting very distinct from one another.
#dYScover, by Yong Seng Coffee, is our attempt at letting you experience high quality/specialty coffee from the various coffee-producing regions of the world. Read more about specialty coffee here!
Join us on this journey as we bring in coffee from different regions every month, as we explore the world of coffee together.
