Berry jam and cocoa on the dry aroma; rich blueberry and raisin fruit on entry; a winey note and light cinnamon spice through the middle; a heavy body; and a finish of dark chocolate and brown sugar.
Buying Tips
Drugar: Short for "Dried Uganda Arabica," Uganda's traditional term for natural arabica, as opposed to washed arabica (Wugar)
Region: The Rwenzori range on the Uganda–DR Congo border, known since antiquity as the "Mountains of the Moon," has rare equatorial glaciers on its peaks
Smallholder naturals: Farmers commonly dry whole cherries in their yards, giving a wilder, sweeter cup than washed coffee
Brewing Notes
French press: Medium-coarse grind, 92°C, 4-minute steep
Pour-over: 90°C at 1:15 so the ferment doesn't dominate
