Discover Rare Excellence in Every Sip
Mbazi means pigeon in Luganda. A humble bird often overlooked, yet rich with symbolic meaning: peace, endurance, and the unexpected work of God.
Much like its namesake, Mbazi is a hidden treasure. Sourced from rare Liberica Excelsa trees, a lesser-known coffee species indigenous to Uganda, this offering is bold yet floral, wild yet refined. Expect tart tamarind, delicate hibiscus, and a savory, spiced finish that lingers long after the last sip.
Few have tasted coffee like this. Even fewer understand its story.
Mbazi is for the seeker, and the one who tastes and sees.
Brewing Recommendations:
Ratio 1:15 (grams coffee to grams water)
Temp: 200* F
Notes: For full complexity, try French press or AeroPress with a 3.5-minute brew time. Excelsa performs beautifully with immersion methods.
Impact Statement: Your purchase of Mbazi supports:
- Conservation of indigenous Liberica varieties in Uganda
- Expanded market access for Excelsa-growing farmers
- Kingdom partnerships that honor both biodiversity and dignity
Rare coffee. Eternal purpose.
