The Rwenzoris are situated in the West of Uganda, and are the home to all of our Ugandan coffees. Farmers in the area typically have 1-2 acres of land, and sell their ripe coffee cherry at washing stations managed by Agri Evolve.
Ibimbo is an extended fermentation natural - with notes of pineapple, raspberry and hibiscus complexity.
The natural process requires skill and attention to get right. The ripe coffee cherry is picked and left out to ferment in the sun, turned regularly so that no mould grows. The enzymatic reactions that occur here sink right into the seed (or bean), and leave you with a coffee that's full of funkiness and complexity.
The process historically was common in places with less water available, but you'll see it all over the world these days, in producer's quests to find wild results in their lots.
Naturally processed coffees have a fruity funkiness from the fermentation. Ibimbo is a fine example of a clean, well processed natural that shows off how complex coffee can be.
