This natural processed coffee is sourced from The Coffee Yards in Sironko District, Uganda, located at the foot of Mount Elgon. The cherries are collected from the surrounding districts of Sironko, Mbale, Bulambuli and Kapchorwa. Grown at altitudes between 1800-2200 meters, the coffee features Nyasaland, SL14 and SL28 varieties. The cup profile includes mango, cherry, milk chocolate, cashew, fig, and grapefruit. Norman Mukuru and his team process the coffee cherries using the natural method at their processing station.
Felix Teiretzbacher founded kaffeelix in 2012, initially to supply his own café before specializing completely in roasting. His approach is to roast coffees relatively light, a method that highlights the unique characteristics of a bean's origin and processing rather than masking them with roasted notes. This dedication has paid off, with Felix winning the World Coffee Roasting Championship in 2022.
