A beautifully balanced washed medium roast, this coffee showcases the best of Mt. Elgon’s high elevations and volcanic soil.

You'll find a cup with crisp acidity and soft sweetness; notes of apple cider, apricot, hibiscus, honey, roasted marshmallow, and chocolate intertwine for a flavor that feels both bright and cozy.

Grown by 850 smallholder farmers under the Mountain Harvest collective, this organic coffee from Mt. Elgon, Uganda, is cultivated at altitudes of 1,600 to 2,200 meters above sea level in rich volcanic loam soil. Fully washed and dried on raised beds, it reflects the care and precision of its growers.

Perfect for pour-over, drip, and espresso where its balance and sweetness shine.
