speciality ugandan robusta

What's Robusta? Most of us have heard of Arabica coffee. But it's cousin, Robusta? Not so much.

And yet, Robusta is nearly HALF of the world's coffee. It has always been around, but it's been overlooked; mostly grown at scale and used as a filler in coffee blends, rather than celebrated in it's own right.

We champion 100% specialty Robusta, grown on our own farm and by fellow smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda. It is grown, processed, and roasted to the high quality standards of specialty coffeem using new methods to bring the best out of this wonderful coffee plant.

Here's what that means for you:

FLAVOUR: quality Robusta has it's own vibe. Nutty, nuanced, and remarkably smooth

STRENGTH: Robusta contains around twice the caffeine of Arabica - that's coffee with a kick

CLIMATE RESILIENT: Robusta is, well, robust. It's resistent to climate challenges and takes up less land

You might say - ROBUSTA IS THE FUTURE!
