Discovery Specialty Instant Coffee (Box of 6 Sachets)

A medium-bodied natural with a moderate level of fermentation offering notes of dried fig and vanilla. 

Please note each box contains 6x 2.5g sachets.

Uganda is one of the few places in the world where coffee still grows wild, particularly in the forests of the central and western regions. For most of the 20th century, tightly controlled imperial rule followed by periods of political instability limited the country’s productive capacity. More recently, efforts led by organisations such as the Uganda Coffee Development Authority have helped reshape the industry’s trajectory, contributing to Uganda’s growing reputation for high-quality lots such as this mix of SL14, SL28, and other regional landrace varieties.

Produced by Colonna Coffee, this Discovery Specialty Instant Coffee offers a convenient way to experience the unique profile of Ugandan beans. This specific lot is processed using the natural method, a technique where the coffee cherry is dried intact around the seed. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit characteristics and increased sweetness compared to their washed counterparts. In this instance, the roaster highlights distinct notes of dried fig and vanilla, providing a refined cup that balances deep, jammy fruit tones with a smooth, aromatic finish. For those looking to better understand the nuances of these descriptors, consulting a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the complex layers present in specialty instant offerings. This box contains six sachets, making it an accessible entry point for exploring the diverse terroir of Uganda without the need for traditional brewing equipment.
