uganda coffee
by rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east · amsterdam, netherlands
this is uganda sironko, an anaerobic uganda from rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east.
as an anaerobically processed light roast, uganda sironko is likely to show pronounced fruit-forward and fermented characteristics, with the light roast preserving the natural flavour qualities of the ugandan origin rather than introducing heavy roast flavour.
it is grown in the sironko region of uganda and processed using an anaerobic method, where coffee cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-depleted environment, which intensifies and transforms the cup flavour compared to washed or natural processing.
as a light roast, it suits brew methods that highlight clarity and nuance, such as pour-over or aeropress, using a slightly lower water temperature around 90-93°c to draw out sweetness without bitterness.
both roasting and serving out of the same operation takes a particular kind of commitment, and rum baba on pretoriusstraat does exactly that. you're in the oost neighbourhood here, far enough from the tourist drag that the people coming through the door are mostly locals who've made a deliberate choice to be here. the roasting side of things shapes what ends up in your cup, which is a different proposition from a shop that just buys in wholesale and moves on. east amsterdam has its own unhurried pace, and this place fits that rhythm. if you get there on a weekday morning, pretoriusstraat is quiet enough that you can actually sit with whatever they're pouring and not feel rushed through it.
