Summer is a time of joy, adventure, and discovering new flavors—and that's exactly the spirit of this limited edition from Nordbeans Funky FILTR from Uganda. This coffee is literally energy in a cup: explosively fruity, beautifully sweet, and unexpectedly complex. When brewed, it reveals a full, rich body and an intense aroma that you will remember. It is dominated by notes of papaya, mandarin and candy, complemented by a pleasant fermented undertone and higher acidity, bringing freshness and liveliness to the whole profile.
The coffee comes from Uganda, specifically from the Kasese region, located below the majestic Rwenzori Mountains. This area has long been overlooked due to limited infrastructure and poor accessibility. Today, however, it is becoming an important coffee region thanks to targeted investments and cooperation with partners who believe in the potential of local production. Great Lakes Coffee and The Coffee Quest are behind the support for farmers in the region, offering them fair prices, access to professional training, and assistance in obtaining organic certification. This sustainable model allows farmers not only to improve the quality of their coffee but also to invest in the future of their farms and communities.
The flavor profile of this coffee is also significantly influenced by its processing method – anaerobic natural. After harvesting, the whole coffee cherries are sealed in special fermentation tanks without access to oxygen. In this environment, controlled fermentation takes place, which can last several dozen hours and has a fundamental impact on the final profile. Anaerobic fermentation enhances sweetness, promotes complexity, and often brings unexpected flavor notes – in this case, tropical fruit, flowers, and subtle fermented nuances. Funky FILTR is a coffee that will entertain you from the first whiff to the last sip.
