We love to keep things feeling fresh while bringing back the bangers that we know you'll love. That's why we're excited to bring back coffee from the newer-to-us region of Mount Elgon, Uganda via Mountain Harvest! 

Being called "Mother" is the most respectful title one can be called in the region from which this coffee is cultivated. Reports show that women often shoulder up to 70% of the manual labor of coffee farms, but represent far less of the decision making, trading, analysis, and ownership. Mountain Harvest recognize the value that women bring to the cup and launched a Gender Inclusion Strategy in 2022 in order to increase certified female farmers by 28%, employ 43% more women leadership within their management, and offer professional development services, savings groups and micro-finances to women in the industry. 

This coffee is a culmination of the effort to bring about progressive change toward equality in the trade and also to simply produce an outstanding cup of coffee! We taste a well balanced, but complex base of sweet Sugar Cane, fruited with Orange, round out by lovely Floral notes.
