Süd Sudan Excelsa Regenwald Kaffee

About This Coffee

This exceptional Excelsa coffee originates from Nzara in Western Equatoria, South Sudan, where 191 smallholder farmers cultivate their plants in integrated agroforestry systems on non-cleared land. The coffee is supported by the local organization COD as part of a project financed by Caritas Austria. The Excelsa variety is climate-resilient, heat- and drought-tolerant. Processed using the honey washed method, the coffee displays notes of pear, caramel, and yellow apple on the nose, with honey, rosehip, and cascara on the palate, followed by a butter-smooth finish with sweet mandarin. The caffeine content is approximately in the Arabica range, resulting in a mild, fruity, and complex cup without excessive bitterness.
