Uganda Rwenzori Mountains · Crown Jewel

Region: Rwenzori Mountains, western Uganda
Producer: Smallholder growers working with Mountain Harvest
Altitude: 2,000–2,200 meters
Variety: SL-14
Process: Honey processed, dried on raised beds
Tasting notes: Passion Fruit · Honey · Dark Chocolate

Grown high in Uganda’s Rwenzori Mountains, this coffee brings a lively contrast to the set. Tropical passion fruit meets honey sweetness and deeper dark-chocolate notes, with hints of persimmon and baking spice. Its honey processing and careful raised-bed drying help create a cup with plenty to discover as it cools.

Guatemala Antigua Luis Girón · Crown Jewel

Region: Antigua, Guatemala
Producer: Luis Girón
Process: Washed
Tasting notes: Apricot · Black Tea · Brown Sugar

This Antigua coffee brings a gentler fruit sweetness to the trio. Apricot and black tea sit alongside brown sugar, with caramel and baking-spice notes. Its washed process offers a lovely contrast to Uganda’s honey-processed character, making the two especially enjoyable to brew and compare.

What makes these Crown Jewels special?

The Uganda and Guatemala coffees are Crown Jewels: distinctive specialty microlots. Each selection comes with detailed producer information, tasting evaluations, and roasting and brewing analysis. Paired with Joy Blend, they make this box a chance to enjoy a familiar holiday cup and explore something new.

Brewing recommendations

Use these recipes as starting points, then adjust for your brewer and taste.

Filter coffee or pour-over: Try 20g of coffee with 320–340g of water at 200–205°F (93–96°C). Begin with a medium grind. Brewing each coffee with the same recipe is a simple way to taste what makes it different.

Espresso: Start with 18g of coffee in an appropriately sized basket and aim for 36g in the cup over approximately 25–30 seconds, around 200°F (93°C). Adjust the grind and yield to find the balance you enjoy.

Happy Brewing!
