This extraordinary coffee is more than just a delicious brew; it's the realisation of a dream. Named in honour of the Bakonzo people of Uganda's Rwenzori Mountains, Bukonzo Dream is the culmination of a partnership between a passionate washing station manager, Chris, a member of the Bakonzo Tribe, and our Ugandan coffee importers, Omwani Coffee. Chris dreamt of seeing coffee from his people enjoyed here in the UK, and together, they made it a reality.

Bukonzo Dream is sourced from over 2,000 dedicated farmers near Kituei, working with the "profit-for-purpose" organisation, Agri Evolve. This partnership has revitalised the Rwenzori coffee region, providing farmers with fair prices, quality control, and access to the global market.

Each bean is meticulously processed, from careful hand-sorting and floating to weeks of sun-drying on raised beds. This meticulous process, overseen by skilled local workers, results in a truly exceptional coffee.

Savour the dream, support the Bakonzo people, and experience the unique flavour of this wonderful Ugandan coffee.

Harper ★★★★★

The natural process really shines here, with the high-altitude Rwenzori character giving it a deep, fruity sweetness that carries through even as it cools. I’ve been brewing it in my French press and the body is thick and satisfying, though it takes a bit to dial in the grind.

Violet ★★★★★

I brew this with a V60 and the SL28 and SL14 varietals really show off that mountain altitude — clean, honeyed sweetness without any of the muddiness you sometimes get from naturals. I’ve already reordered a bag; the Rwenzori character is unmistakable.

Grace S. ★★★★★

The natural process on this one is something else—the SL28 and SL14 mix from those high Rwenzori slopes gives a deep, syrupy body that lingers nicely. I’ve brewed it both as a pour-over and in my moka pot, and it held up great either way. My only struggle is not finishing the bag too fast.
