This single-origin Arabica coffee comes from smallholder farms in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, Uganda. Farms average just under 0.2 hectares with around 200 plants located at altitudes between 1600 and 2500 meters. Harvest runs from late August through November. Coffee cherries are delivered to Clark Farm where a premium is paid for ripe red cherry before being processed for export. The coffee is washed processed and features flavor notes of passion fruit, rum, peach, and blackcurrant.
Grain & Grind opened its first coffee shop at the start of 2018 beneath the old Victoria Infirmary buildings on Battlefield Road in Glasgow. A roaster was installed in that original shop and later relocated to Inverness, where master roaster John now hand roasts in small batches across a range of over twenty offerings. The company has grown to eight café locations spread between Glasgow and Inverness. They also run a wholesale supply business providing beans, brew bags, and equipment to cafés, restaurants, and hotels, partnering with San Remo for espresso machines and Mahlkönig for grinders.
