It’s always a tough task picking from Curve’s list of feature filters, but this Ugandan coffee jumped out instantly. Imbalu comes from Norman Mukuru’s The Coffee Yard in Mount Elgon, which has been producing some exceptional lots this year.

Experienced coffee producer Norman has been working to refine processing techniques in order to develop distinct and expressive flavour profiles. This anaerobic natural involved a carefully managed fermentation process before being dried slowly on raised beds. The result is a coffee that still has lots of classic  Ugandan dark fruit character that is perfectly matched by a slight cassis booziness and a sweet and syrupy body.
