From the roaster

2026 marks Huck's ninth harvest roasting coffee from the Sipi Falls Wet Mill in Eastern Uganda, and each year, the natural rivals some of our favorites from Ethiopia. But thanks in part to different coffee varieties (SL28 and SL34, most famous in Kenya), this one carries a bit more chocolate and body.

Sipi Falls is one of Uganda's most famous landmarks, and much of the country's best coffee comes from the region. Smallholder farmers in the area deliver coffee to the Sipi Falls Wet Mill in the town of Chema. High altitude, Clay soils, and SL-variety coffees, combined with Sipi Falls Washing Station's impressive attention to detail, yields complex, delicious, and juicy goodness in the cup.

Uganda is an up-and-coming coffee-producing country, but Sipi Falls produces coffees we look forward to each year. We’re stoked to showcase the continual improvements in Ugandan coffee, but more importantly, we’re just stoked to have this coffee in our mugs. Sipi Falls Natural packs big fruit flavors of concord grape, blueberry, and cherry, rounded out with bittersweet dark chocolate for a helluva natural.

Context

Sourced from the Sipi Falls region of Uganda, this natural-processed coffee is produced by the Sipi Falls Wet Mill. The lot features the SL28 varietal, a plant type historically celebrated for its complex acidity and distinct profile. As a natural-processed coffee, this selection undergoes a processing method where the fruit remains intact during drying, which often contributes to a heavier body and pronounced sweetness.

Roasted by Huckleberry Roasters, this coffee presents a vibrant sensory experience characterized by notes of concord grape, blueberry, cherry, and bittersweet dark chocolate. When evaluating these specific flavor descriptors, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better understand how these fruit-forward and cocoa-toned characteristics interact. This Uganda Sipi Falls Natural offers a compelling look at how regional terroir and careful processing can shape the final cup, highlighting the unique potential of Ugandan coffee production.
