What's in the bag

250 grams of single-origin Bugisu Arabica, washed and medium roasted, pre-ground for convenience. Same beans as the Tendo whole bean, same roast profile, just ground at the roastery so you do not need a grinder. The grind is set to medium, a good sweet spot for drip machines, pour-over cones, and Aeropress. If you use a French press, it works there too.

How it tastes

Jasmine and citrus peel hit first as soon as you open the bag. Brewed, it opens with bright lemon and sweet cane sugar. The body is medium and clean. The acidity is lively without being sharp. Finish is black tea. This is what washed Bugisu Arabica tastes like when it is roasted right and ground fresh.

Where it comes from

The Bugisu sub-region sits on the western slopes of Mount Elgon, where volcanic soil and high altitude produce Uganda's best-known Arabica. Nonda buys directly from smallholder farmers here.
