Archived products are unlikely to come back into stock. This can happen for many reasons, e.g. a limited coffee lot, the farmer no longer grows this coffee, etc.
Out of season products are likely to come back into stock next year. Coffee is seasonal and we try to maintain long lasting relationships with the farmers we work with.
Sold out products are likely to come back into stock soon. This is usually due to a small delay in delivery or roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the flavour profile of Ugandan coffee?
Ugandan coffee is renowned for its bold, chocolatey profile with low acidity and a smooth body. Depending on the region and the process, watch out for hints of strawberry and tropical fruit as well.
How is it best to brew Ugandan coffee?
We would suggest Ugandan coffee is best brewed in espresso or French press to showcase its richness and body, but this is completely a subjective opinion. It's also worth noting that Ugandan coffee also performs well in blends.
What are the different types of Ugandan coffee?
Uganda is best known for its rich, chocolatey Arabica coffee beans which grow on Mount Elgon and in the Rwenzors. Ugandan Robusta coffee beans, which grow in the Central Lowlands and Lake Victoria basin, are lower quality and can have a touch of spice to them.
Is your Ugandan coffee sourced in a sustainable and ethical way?
Yes, all of our coffee is sourced ethically and sustainably. We work with smallholders and cooperatives, and all of our sourcing is based on traceable, fair trade principles.
