Arabica Green Coffee
Discover the vibrant heart of East Africa in every green bean with Bean There, Shipped That’s Ugandan Arabica Green Coffee. Grown at lofty elevations in the shadow of the Rwenzori Mountains (1,600–2,000 meters above sea level), these small‑lot Arabica varietals (primarily Bourbon, Typica, and SL‑28) thrive in a cool, mist‑shrouded climate that nurtures slow, even development. Hand‑picked by family‑owned cooperatives and fully washed to highlight their inherent clarity, these beans offer roasters an exceptionally dense, uniform canvas for crafting nuanced profiles—from bright, energetic light roasts to deeper, syrupy dark roasts.
Why Ugandan Arabica Stands Out
- High‑Altitude Terroir: Mountain air and volcanic soils impart striking acidity and structural complexity.
- Small‑Holder Quality: Sourced through transparent, direct‑trade partnerships to ensure meticulous cherry selection and sustainable livelihoods.
- Washed Processing: Gentle fermentation and thorough washing accentuate clean, fruit‑forward notes without vegetal or earthy off‑tones.
- Exceptional Cup Consistency: Even moisture content and bean density translate to predictable roast development and minimal cracking variability.
Tasting Profile:
- Acidity: Bright, wine‑like tang of red currant and blood orange
- Body: Medium‑bodied with a rounded, silky mouthfeel
- Flavor Notes: Juicy stone fruit (peach, apricot), honeyed sweetness, delicate floral undertones, finishing with a subtle cocoa nib richness
Whether you’re a specialty roaster seeking a single‑origin star or a café curator crafting signature espresso blends, our Ugandan Arabica Green Coffee delivers an inspiring canvas. Experience the fusion of East African altitude, committed craftsmanship, and bean‑to‑cup purity—roast your way to a cup that’s as socially conscious as it is sensational.
