Reason

Kasese is everything I imagine an espresso can be- refined and delicate, yet creamy. It has a floral minerality that caught my attention on the cupping table, which when brewed in espresso turned into a refined, delicate body. Almost like a perfectly balanced filter coffee in espresso form.
Recipe

COFFEE | 18.5g
WATER | 43-46g
TEMP | 92.5-93C
TIME | 26-28 seconds

Kasese is such an easy, everyday drinker and is also very easy to dial in. Basically, you can't go wrong, so it is perfect for beginners!

It has a very delicate, refined texture, so it is best enjoyed black as espresso; however, if you do want to enjoy it with milk in a cappuccino or flat white, you can try a stronger brew ratio to help it punch through the milk- for example, 19g IN : 42mL OUT.
Relationship

Sourced through The Coffee Quest, who work with AgriEvolve, the exporting partner in the region. AgriEvolve sorts and grades the coffee and also provides infrastructure, training and financial education to producers.

Kasese is a collection of small lots from 200+ producers in the Rwenzori mountains of the Nyabirongo Region. It is delivered as dry parchment, rather than fresh cherries to the regional collection station, where they are then sorted, evaluated and packaged for export.
