Uganda - Bukonzo Dream - Natural

A vibrant, fruit-forward natural process coffee bursting with tropical sweetness. Juicy notes of guava and mango lead the cup, followed by the comforting sweetness of candied pecan and a smooth, lingering finish.

Bukonzo Dream takes its name from the Bakonzo people, whose communities span the Rwenzori Mountains of western Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The coffee's story began with Chris, a washing station manager from the Bakonzo Tribe, who shared his dream of seeing coffee grown by his people roasted and enjoyed in the UK. Today, that dream continues through every cup of Bukonzo Dream.

Produced by more than 2,000 smallholder farmers working with Agri Evolve, this coffee is helping to restore the reputation of Rwenzori coffee on the global stage. Through fair pricing, investment in processing infrastructure, and ongoing farmer support, Agri Evolve has created a sustainable and reliable market for coffee producers throughout the region.

This particular lot comes from Kituei, a small trading centre near Kasese in the Rwenzori Mountains. Carefully selected cherries are delivered to Nyabirongo washing station, where they are sorted, floated, and slowly dried on raised beds for up to four weeks. Constant attention during drying ensures a clean, expressive cup that showcases the unique character of the region and the dedication of the farmers behind it.

Sourced from the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda, the Bukonzo Dream is a natural-processed coffee produced by Agri Evolve. This specific lot is roasted by Dear Green Coffee, a roaster known for highlighting the distinct characteristics of their origins. In the cup, this coffee presents a profile defined by guava, mango, and candied pecan.

Natural-processed coffees, where the coffee cherry is dried intact around the bean, often develop heavier fruit-forward profiles and increased sweetness compared to washed counterparts. To better understand how these techniques influence the final cup, you can explore our processing methods explainer. When evaluating the complex interplay of tropical fruit and nutty undertones found in this Ugandan selection, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying and articulating the specific nuances present in your brew.
