On the slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda, this nanolot grows, named after Jackie Nafuna. The result is a bright and lively coffee with citrus accents, a tea-like structure, and a soft sweet undertone. The taste invites slow attention, revealing layers that unfold gradually.

The cherries are carefully pulped, co-fermented with their pulp, and then dried on African raised beds. This intensive method, combined with meticulous sorting, gives the coffee its distinctive balance. Behind every bean lies a story of dedication, collaboration, and the development of a sustainable coffee culture.
