Mbazi
Named after the resilient Liberica excelsa tree of Uganda, Mbazi is a coffee unlike any other. It is bold, aromatic, and full of character. Grown in Uganda’s fertile lowlands, this rare variety delivers a cup with extraordinary depth and intrigue. Its profile marries dark fruit and tamarind brightness with a velvety cocoa and molasses foundation, creating an experience both exotic and grounding. Each sip speaks to heritage, rarity, and the courage to stand apart.
Natural flavor profile: Tamarind, molasses, dark fruit
Our Roaster’s Note:
Mbazi is a celebration of the Liberica excelsa bean — Uganda’s hidden gem. Naturally low in bitterness yet rich in body, this coffee rewards slower brewing methods that allow its layered aroma and full mouthfeel to develop. No flavor additives are used; its bold, wine-like complexity comes purely from nature’s design and the skill of its growers.
Optional enhancements (if desired for retail drinks):
-
-
A drizzle of molasses or brown sugar syrup to amplify its deep sweetness.
-
A touch of clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon for a spiced, aromatic accent.
