Vibe City
HONEY. MANDARIN. HIBISCUS.
Balanced and fragrant with an unctuous tea like body, this aromatic East African coffee is all about feelin’ groovy, dialling the relaxometer to max and soaking up the positive vibes of great coffee production. Hailing from a land known locally as the ‘mountains of the moon’, the rugged backdrop forms a stunning setting for an uber relaxing brew. You’ll find subtle floral notes of hibiscus intermeshed with delicate mandarin and sweet honey tea. A distinguished coffee that really shines in filter preparation and espresso brew methods.

The Full Story
Vibe City is a fully washed coffee from Bugoye, a recent washing station development with a focus on fully washed lots. The coffee is processed and sourced from around 300-500 farms – the farm sizes in the Rwenzori mountains are very small! It is therefore almost impossible to get a single farm lot within the region, so farms are grouped into specific areas.
Benefiting from a bi-modal rainfall season and high altitudes, the country has a pleasant climate all year round and is lush with greenery. The mountain ranges to the east and west are home to Uganda’s Arabica farmers. Robusta is produced on the central plateau and the government of Uganda is promoting coffee production as a key driver for rural development. The Baknozo tribe farm this region and harvest this coffee by hand, carefully selecting ripe cherries. They are proud and strong and have farmed the foothills of Rwenzori for over 15 generations.
