Natural SL14+SL28

Bantu Blossom Rwenzori

comes from the high-altitude Rwenzori region of Uganda, grown between 1,500 and 2,000 meters by around 200 smallholder farmers cultivating SL14 and SL28. The rich volcanic soil and ideal climate result in a vibrant, balanced cup.

Cherries are picked fully ripe, floated to remove defects, and sun-dried on raised beds at Agri Evolve’s Nyabirongo station. Careful processing and sorting ensure quality and consistency.

Agri Evolve supports farmers with training, tools, and community initiatives—improving coffee quality and livelihoods across the region.

SL14 + SL28

SL14 is a drought-resistant varietal developed in Kenya, now widely grown in Uganda. It produces a smooth, balanced cup with mild acidity and notes of chocolate, nuts, or soft fruits, depending on the region.

SL18 is a high-quality Kenyan varietal known for its complex flavors and disease resistance. Expect juicy acidity, full body, and vibrant notes like blackcurrant, citrus, and florals.

Natural Process

The Natural (Dry) process for coffee involves drying whole cherries to let the beans absorb fruit flavors. Ripe cherries are handpicked and sorted, then spread out to dry in the sun for two to four weeks. During this time, they are turned regularly to ensure even drying and prevent mold. Once dried, the outer layers are removed, revealing the green beans inside. This method produces coffee with fruity, sweet notes and a fuller body. However, it requires careful management and is best suited for regions with dry climates.
