Share
The start of a new year calls for a bold and inspiring cup of coffee, and we’re thrilled to introduce Weather Helm Uganda (Rwenzori - Natural) as our January 2025 Coffee of the Month. This limited-edition offering is named after the nautical term "weather helm," which refers to a sailboat’s tendency to turn into the wind. Just as a skilled sailor balances the helm, this coffee strikes an adventurous balance of fruity sweetness and vibrant complexity, making it the perfect brew to guide you into 2025.
A Journey to the Rwenzori Mountains
This exceptional coffee comes from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda’s Kasese District, an area renowned for its fertile soils and ideal coffee-growing conditions. Produced by the Busongora North Coffee Farmers Cooperative, this micro lot represents the hard work of over 500 farming families, two-thirds of whom are women. Grown at elevations between 1,500 and 2,000 MASL, the coffee is made from SL28 and SL14 varieties and processed naturally, enhancing its fruity profile and unique character.
