Uganda Washed Robusta Turaco S15/17 Kaweri EUDR Aligned + NKG Verified
£4.00
Unit price perThis coffee comes from the Kaweri Coffee Plantation Ltd., a large Robusta estate in the Mubende district of Uganda near the equator. The farm manages thousands of hectares of Robusta and is known for producing higher-quality washed Robusta using selective picking and quality-focused processing.
Kaweri’s coffee is typically grown around 1,300 m above sea level, which is unusually high for Robusta and helps yield denser, more flavourful beans (closer to speciality quality than typical low-grown Robusta).
📜 Certification: EUDR Aligned + NKG Verified
🟡 EUDR Aligned
“EUDR Aligned” means compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) — a new EU requirement that coffee sold into the EU market must be deforestation-free and legally produced.
-
This involves due diligence documentation and traceability to ensure the coffee doesn’t contribute to deforestation or illegal land use.
-
Being EUDR Aligned signals that the lot has the required documentation and traceability systems in place for EU importers to satisfy regulatory checks.
🟢 NKG Verified
“NKG Verified” is Neumann Kaffee Gruppe’s sustainability and traceability verification program.
-
It means the supply chain — from farm to export — has been assessed against economic, social and environmental criteria and is verified for responsible practices.
-
It provides traceability and reporting on how the coffee was produced and handled.
-
Like EUDR alignment, NKG Verified isn’t a traditional third-party certification such as Fairtrade; instead it verifies performance and traceability through Neumann Kaffee Gruppe’s systems.
☕ Typical Tasting Profile & Characteristics
Robusta generally tastes quite different from Arabica: bold, stronger, and with more caffeine. But high-quality washed Robusta lots like this one — especially from Kaweri — are often described with cleaner and more nuanced flavours than commodity Robusta:
Aroma & Body
-
Full body — robust and heavy compared with most Arabicas.
-
Aromas can be rich and spicy, with dark chocolate, nut-like or cinnamon touches.
Flavour Notes
-
Notes reported for washed Ugandan robusta include dark chocolate, cocoa, spice and hazelnut, with a clean, well-defined finish.
-
Because it’s washed and well graded, this Turaco lot tends to be less harsh and less astringent than typical robusta coffees, making it more interesting for speciality roasters.
Acidity & Mouthfeel
-
Low acidity, rich body and a creamy to dense texture are common characteristics of quality washed robusta.
Use in Roasting & Brewing
-
Works well in espresso or blends, adding crema, body and strength.
-
Can also be roasted on its own for those who enjoy high-strength coffees or espresso with a chocolate/spice edge.
