Limited Edition Christmas Coffee
Welcome to our new Christmas Coffee
Our Christmas coffee this year hails from the mystical 'Mountains of the Moon' (Rwenzori Mountains) in Western Uganda. Here, the abundant sunshine and rain foster slow, natural development, yielding beans rich in flavour.
High altitudes and cool temperatures in the Rwenzoris, combined with shade-grown practices and unique microclimates, nurture healthier plants and produce coffees of remarkable complexity.
Rather than blending lots of different coffees to create a 'Christmas coffee', this wonderful single-origin speciality coffee is a real exception thanks to its complex yet beautifully balanced acidity and sweetness.

The Rwenzori Mountains, known as the “Mountains of the Moon,” rise dramatically along Uganda’s western border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. This stunning range marks the westernmost reach of the Great Rift Valley and has been a cradle of coffee farming for generations.
With two rainy seasons and diverse agro-ecologies, Uganda produces a steady, year-round supply of Arabica coffee. The vast majority of coffee producers in the Kasese region are smallholders with plots of roughly 2 acres. This lot is a collection of selected cherries from several of these producers which were then processed by miller and exporter Agri Evolve.
Agri Evolve is a profit-for-purpose business transforming coffee farming in Uganda’s Rwenzori Mountains. Founded in 2016, it supports over 2,000 smallholder farmers by providing fair market prices, modern processing facilities, and strategic buying centres to ensure ease of access for farmers. By purchasing freshly picked cherries and processing them locally, Agri Evolve maintains strict quality control, producing exceptional coffee while fostering trust and economic stability in the region. Their commitment to sustainability and community development has established the Rwenzori Mountains as a source of premium specialty coffee, celebrated worldwide.
We roast our coffees each week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as well as then grind to order. All orders that include ground and bean coffees will be sent the day they are roasted.
Our whole range of vibrant speciality coffees, are small-batch roasted to perfection, helping you create delicious barista-quality coffee at home or at work. Sip by sip you’ll experience the individual personality and ‘terroir’ of the beans that have been nurtured by our smallholder farmers using sustainable farming techniques that allow biodiversity and wildlife to thrive.
You’re also supporting our ethos and the growers of our wonderful coffees with every brew so thank you for helping us prove that purpose-driven coffee really does taste better in every way!
