'Muki Fruity' Ugandan Coffee

Muki Fruity is a naturally processed Arabica coffee grown in the fertile soils of Uganda’s Mount Elgon region. At altitudes of 1,800–2,100 meters, the cherries develop vibrant tropical flavors, with this microlot offering notes of mango, cherry liqueur and tamarind, complemented by a winey acidity.

Muki Fruity is a versatile omni-roast designed to shine across both filter and espresso. As black coffee, it reveals vibrant tropical fruit, with notes of ripe mango, tamarind, and a juicy, wine-like acidity. When brewed as espresso, its rich body adds depth to the fruit, creating a sweet, complex cup. Add milk, and the flavors transform into something truly indulgent: think Black Forest Gateau, with layers of dark chocolate, cherry liqueur, and a creamy finish.
