uganda coffee
by gray squirrel coffee company · chapel hill, usa
expect blueberry. this is uganda rwenzori natural, a natural uganda from gray squirrel coffee company.
this coffee leads with blueberry, a characteristic driven by its natural processing, which concentrates the fruit sugars of the coffee cherry as it dries around the bean. the light roast keeps those fruity, sweet notes front and center without adding roast bitterness.
this coffee comes from the rwenzori region of uganda and is processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried intact before the bean is removed. this approach intensifies fruit-forward flavors in the final cup.
because this is a light roast with delicate fruit-driven character, brew methods that offer control and clarity, like pour-over or aeropress, are a good fit. use water around 90-93c and grind fresh to avoid muting the blueberry notes.
