your hands will remember the volcanic soil before you even taste great lakes coffee roastery's bugisu arabica. these kampala roasters pull beans straight from mount elgon's slopes, where altitude and ancient earth create something undeniably ugandan. the cup hits bright and clean, with that distinctive citrus snap that only comes from beans grown above 1,800 meters. when isaac kato started roasting in his garage three years ago, he knew bugisu deserved better than export bins. now his light roasts let you taste exactly why mount elgon's coffee has fed families for generations.
