"Hello, I'm Yvette. The soils of the Rwenzori Mountains produce a coffee that is strong and resilient, just like our collective. When we roast our sun-dried cherries dark, something magical happens. The bright acidity softens, and we coax out a heavy, syrupy body filled with rich cocoa and dark caramel, with just a hint of dried mountain berry remaining. It is unapologetically bold, rich, and never bitter. If you love a strong, powerful cup of coffee to start your day, this is the harvest we grew for you."
