The pursuit of Anthracite No.2 was fuelled by a desire to create a uniquely flavoured espresso, one that defies normal expectations in coffee with its juicy, fruity notes that are native to exceptional natural process coffees. Through dedication and experimentation, we believe we achieved just that. Expect a distinctive flavour profile that's both vibrant and complex with fruity, floral, wine-like notes.
Anthracite's distinct profile has been recognised by the Guild of Fine Food, earning it a 3-star Great Taste Award.
The Rwenzori Mountains, famously known as the ‘Mountains of the Moon’, stretch for 120km along Western Uganda and are home to the Bakonzo tribe. The high altitude, fertile soils provide perfect conditions for growing coffee beans, while the breathtaking snow-capped peaks, glaciers and consistent rainfall create a sustained supply of fresh water.
Many coffee farmers live high up on the slopes of the Rwenzori mountain range, which peaks at more than 5,000 MASL. To access the farms situated at these high altitudes, Agri Evolve has arranged a ‘donkey network’ that collects the ripe cherries from the farms located in these remote areas. This very literally leaves the heavy lifting ‘donkeywork’ to the donkeys instead of being transported in small quantities by push-bike.
