This time , Father's Coffee Rostery presents Zebigi coffee from Mt Elgon, Uganda, which will enchant you with its sweet delicacy from the very first sip. In your cup, you will discover smooth notes of chamomile tea with sweet butter cookies, which create a beautiful harmony with a hint of pomelo. The complexity of this coffee's flavors stands out perfectly in all alternative brewing methods, whether you make it with a V60, Aeropress, or Chemex.
Small farmers grow coffee in the vicinity of the village of Zebigi. They are assisted in their work by the QC Lab, which checks the quality of their harvest, improves their processes, and helps them achieve fairer prices. This laboratory, together with The Coffee Gardens processing station, was co-financed by Father's Roasters. The coffee comes from altitudes of 1,800–2,200 meters above sea level, which, together with the cooler climate, volcanic soil, and diverse nature, contributes to slower ripening of the coffee cherries and more intense flavor development.
This coffee is a combination of three varieties, each of which contributes its own unique characteristics. SL14 lends it delicate citrus notes, SL28 brings juiciness and fruity sweetness, and Nyasaland from Malawi adds elegant tea notes. Together, they create a perfectly harmonious symphony of flavors. After harvesting, the beans undergo a process called dry fermentation, in which they are left to ferment without the addition of water after the husk has been removed. This enhances the sweetness of the coffee while retaining its bright acidity and complex, rich flavor.
