Have you tried our Orange Infused Next Level Coffee?

Where was this coffee cultivated?

Grown in the beautiful Mount Elgon region of Uganda, the Budwale Farmer Group has been growing coffee here for decades, alongside NGO JENGA. They ensure that these communities have access to clean water, education programs, and health centres.

Since their involvement, more than 1,500 farmers have adopted organic production methods, resulting in high-scoring specialty beans, just like these!

Recently, the Zukuka Bora Coffee Company has also stepped in to support these farmers further, ensuring they receive fair pay for their beans and helping to put Ugandan coffee back on the map.

Now, for your most important question: what does “orange infused” mean?

Well, once these coffee cherries are perfectly ripe, they are handpicked and taken for processing. Typically, this follows either the natural or the washed method, but for this special coffee, this is where things get funky (and fruity!).

First, the cherries are tipped into large tanks full of water to be floated. This helps to separate the perfectly ripe from the slightly underripe. Once sorted, the ripest fruit is placed into an airtight tank, along with locally grown oranges, and co-fermented for 96 hours.

During this time, the fruit starts to break down, infusing the beans with flavours from both the cherries and oranges. Once complete, the beans are removed from the cherries, washed, and then spread across large, raised beds to sun-dry.

What flavours can you expect?

Think a smooth strawberries and cream base, topped with sweet juicy peaches. Sounds pretty epic, right? Well, it doesn’t end there! A swirl of vanilla and subtle orange zing makes this the perfect all-around brew.
