Zinule Bulambuli – Uganda

We are proud to present these coffees from Bulambuli. It’s a new washing station, built in 2021 in an area we find to have amazing coffees and potential. It is located in Bulambuli town in Mt. Elgon, east Uganda, close to the Kenyan border. The coffees are from altitudes around 2000 masl and are mainly of SL varieties. We have been taking part in this project from the very beginning, and are fully committed to buying and developing great coffees over time together with the producer Ben Mukhone.
As it is the first year the volumes are limited to a few batches of washed and naturals. But there will be more to come…
These washed coffees are so far traditionally produced, meaning the parchment is fermented in tanks after pulping before being dried in a well-ventilated parabolic dryer. We decided to do it this way the first year to see the general profile and potential before we start experimenting with extended fermentation etc. And we are NOT disappointed:)
