The producer
Spotted: The Ugandan coffee that refuses to play small.
From the misty slopes of Mount Elgon, where farmers manage 20 to 200 trees and coffee is their only access to a cash economy, comes a washed lot that tastes like quiet determination. Norman Mukuru started as an agronomist, built a central processing yard from scratch, and when a giant exporter collapsed, he kept going. Now The Coffee Yards buys cherry directly from ~300 registered farmers, pulps on‑farm, extends fermentation with precision, and slowly dries on beds and tarps. No shortcuts. No safety nets. Just a man who believed his community deserved better.
The cup? Caramel up front, golden plum in the middle, and a butterscotch finish that lingers like a promise kept. It's medium‑bodied, bright with citrus, and honest as a handshake. This is what happens when resilience meets a ripe SL14 cherry – and neither backs down.
