Introducing "Sweet Symphony," a remarkable coffee from the scenic Sipi Falls area on Mount Elgon in Uganda. This coffee is a testament to the hard work of smallholder farmers and an innovative, naturally processed approach involving a co-fermentation with locally sourced honey. Smallholder farms situated between 1900m and 2100m above sea level nurture the celebrated SL28 and SL34 varietals, culminating in a cup that is as complex as it is aromatic. The prolonged anaerobic fermentation and careful drying process on raised beds ensure each bean's distinctive profile shines through, embodying the rich coffee heritage of the region.

Process
Natural & co-fermented with locally sourced honey
From Stay High Coffee Roasters
Black Honey and Red Honey processes are two distinct variations of the honey process used at the Las Lajas micro mill. In the black honey process during the drying process, the mucilage undergoes a longer fermentation period, resulting in a darker colour and a more pronounced flavour development. The beans are frequently turned and monitored to ensure even drying and prevent fermentation issues. The extended fermentation time can lead to increased sweetness, complexity, and unique flavour profiles in the final cup. However, the beans still retain some of the characteristics and flavours associated with honey-processed coffees, such as increased sweetness and a unique taste profile. The final product is an organic coffee of true distinction that is sweet, syrupy and dominant with the bouquet of ripe fruit flavours.
