About This Coffee

This coffee is a single origin from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda, also known as the "Mountains of the Moon." Grown by smallholder farmers of the Bakonzo tribe at elevations between 1,600 and 2,000 meters, this natural processed coffee features SL.14 and SL.28 varieties. The cup offers a lively espresso profile with dried berries, plum, vanilla, and milk chocolate notes, creating a balanced fusion of fruity and chocolatey characteristics that shines especially well in milk-based drinks.

Cypher Urban Roastery

Mohamad Merhi, a former finance professional turned certified Q Grader, founded Cypher Urban Roastery in Dubai's Al Quoz Industrial Area in 2016. The facility runs Probat roasters fitted with a custom cooling system designed in house, alongside a cupping lab equipped with Marco water systems and Mahlkonig EK43 grinders. Cypher operates as both a green coffee trader and a roaster, managing over 30 tons of coffee annually and holding Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, and USDA Organic certifications across parts of its sourcing. A notable focus on rare Yemeni lots led to securing the seventh ranked coffee at the 2021 Best of Yemen auction, scoring 88.9. The company also runs the Cypher School of Coffee, offering SCA and CQI certified training, and its Nabtih sustainability initiative repurposes jute transport bags into planters for edible herbs grown alongside the roastery.
