ROASTER’S CHOICE MAY 2026THE COFFEE YARD, UGANDA

• Origin: Uganda
• Region: Sironoko District 
• Varietal: Nyasaland, SL14, SI38
• Process: Natural

This month, our Roaster’s Choice takes us to the Sironko District in Eastern Uganda.

Situated in the foothills of Mount Elgon, The Coffee Yard harnesses the region’s volcanic soils, high altitudes, and shade trees to cultivate high quality coffees.

The farm is led by Norman Mukuru, a grower with over 20 years of experience specialising in natural process coffees. Named after Norman himself, this Mukuru Florals lot undergoes a meticulous process. The cherries are hand-picked, fermented in sealed barrels, and slowly dried on raised beds for 21 days to develop their unique character.

The result is the perfect all-day drinker, a smooth, mellow cup with a silky mouthfeel. Expect rich notes of milk chocolate and raisin sweetness with a boozy finish of rum.

We recommend pairing with: Pain aux raisin
