Bulaago Natural

Cherry, Apricot, Light

Bulaago, Natural is a coffee produced by smallholders in the Bulaago region of Uganda. This coffee showcases the potential of Ugandan coffee through its delicious flavors and is part of an initiative to support local communities.

About this coffee

Bulaago is one of the highest communities on Mt Elgon, but also one of the most inaccessible. The roads are treacherous at the best of times, let alone in very wet seasons. Due to the isolation the coffee is taken down from Bulaago via boda boda (motorcycle), where it can be loaded up before making its way to Mbale to be processed. The record was a fleet of 20 bikes each carrying 130kg each down the rough hour-long tracks to the nearest drivable road. 


The Bulaago Natural is super clean with notes of cherry, apricot and a light body.
