Its honey-like texture is accompanied by a lively acidity, evoking the tangy character of raw honey, while its aromatic intensity subtly recalls mead. The deep, umami-rich finish, with its sweet-and-salty balance reminiscent of tamarind, brings the whole cup together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eORIGIN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA first for Nektar: never before have we offered a coffee from Uganda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman Mukuru began his career as an agronomist before specializing in coffee collection and processing. After developing operations across several regions of the country, he founded The Coffee Yards, a centralized processing facility near Mbale focused on improving drying, quality and overall processing efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot brings together coffees from approximately 300 producers across four communities on Mount Elgon. The Coffee Yards applies a distinctive process known as “Short-drip Aerobic Natural”: the cherries are briefly pre-dried, then fermented in the open air before completing their drying under controlled conditions on raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a particularly exotic expression of the terroir and a decidedly unusual introduction to Uganda, an origin we are very proud to offer for the first time at Nektar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTASTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an espresso, it is genuinely disorienting: the mead character comes through with intensity in a quickly pulled short double shot. With steamed milk, the coffee gains sweetness and its honeyed texture becomes even more prominent, while the acidity recedes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn filter, however, this coffee reveals its full finesse: a profusion of aromas unfolds, from vibrant melon to the umami nuances of the finish.
