Context

The Autumn Firecracker, sourced from Uganda and roasted by Glen Lyon Coffee, represents a distinct expression of East African coffee production. As a natural-processed coffee, this lot undergoes a drying method where the coffee cherry remains intact around the bean during the initial stages. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit profiles and increased sweetness compared to their washed counterparts, as the bean absorbs sugars directly from the fruit flesh. You can learn more about how these techniques influence the final cup in our processing methods explainer. When evaluating the complex layers of this Ugandan offering, we recommend referencing our flavor wheel to help identify the specific nuances present in the cup. This coffee highlights the unique character that can be achieved through careful post-harvest handling in the Ugandan landscape, offering a profile that stands apart from more traditional regional expectations.
