Uganda Rwenzori - Medium Roast

5 stars as Redber has clarified with me regarding the email was incorrectly marked and offered a detailed explanation on different roast and processes of coffee, even offered a free complementary bag of Uganda Rwenzori as apologies.

Coffee and mentioned before is good, but I want to add that is a pleasingly sweet coffee, it kinda opened up a new world to on how coffee can actually be sweet.

Coffee Is food but I ordered a medium and got medium-dark to dark roast.

Contacted Redber about this and another I had and they never replied.

It's a shame as the variety of coffe provided is good, but after sale is a big let down... Other roasters have been super responsive for any issues.

Unfortunately I use smell as a key sensory part of my enjoyment of coffee ( and wine) and these beans have a strong off putting smell. I will not be able to drink any more.
I remember something similar and I checked the description and the beans are natural which is l believe is the reason

I rarely ever write reviews for things but this coffee is so good.
It smells so good when you make it and then it has a great fruity taste as well.
Would definitely recommend

It's drinkable... but the smell and taste is very sour. Unfortunately is one of those coffees that the more you drink the worst it taste somehow.

I’ve taken to giving all my Redber reviews 5 stars because, even though I probably shouldn’t, I’m influenced by anything less than a full rating. Taste is subjective.

In truth, this one sits closer to a 3–4 range for me, as it isn’t really my preference. That said, it’s a very flavourful coffee — fruity up front with a chocolate note behind it, which is lovely.

However, there’s also a slightly funky note; once you taste it, you’ll know what I mean. If that’s your thing, this will easily be a 5-star coffee. I have 1kg of it and I’ll get through it just fine even though it’s not my favourite. It’s quality stuff, I’m glad I tried it, but it’s probably not one I’ll return to.

Brewed with a v60 - 16g in to 250g out, 45s bloom all done in about 3min. I think possibly a tiny click finer on the next brew as initially it tasted a little hollow but the sharp nectarine/plum notes are an absolute joy.

Very pleasant and heading up my list of favourites.

My deepest desire for a bright, juicy and fruity coffee is satisfied. Very pleasant acidity, persistent, balanced body and a solid but not overpowering chocolatey finish. Tasting notes description is spot on and I love the visual aid! Perfect for V60 and the roast level is truly medium, as opposed to all other roasters I’ve tried so far, where medium is more like dark (this is where, I suspect, other roasters lose a lot of expected notes). I’ve not tried the other beans I’ve ordered yet, but I am most definitely coming back soon, even if it’s just for these ones!

This is one of my favourites especially as it is a natural process. Seems roasted to medium as described. It matches rather well the flavour profile description on the website. Intensity I would give a 3.5 out of 5 when used for an espresso extracted as 2-2.5: 1.

This is the only coffee bean I have bought which I found literally undrinkable. It doesn't taste or smell like coffee at all (or certainly no coffee I've ever come across). It tastes a bit like mouldy fruit, although more than anything it smelt like sweat! No complaints - I constantly try different beans, and this one just didn't work out well. Ordering and delivery from Redber were, as always, faultless.

Very enjoyable - was expecting to be similar to Kenya but was surprised as not quite so. Enjoyed the chocolatey notes, though.

Nice fresh beans, grind well. Lovely aroma

Arrived quickly. Tastes really great! Lovely smooth depth of flavour.

Good service, fabulous coffee

Bought this on my son’s recommendation. Although an enjoyable coffee it’s a little too fruity for my taste, I prefer the chocolate overtones, but then I love chocolate more than fruit! Probably won’t buy again, but it’s still an excellent brew.

Would you like to reply to my previous correspondence regarding this product before I submit my review

It is very different from the range of coffees we usually drink and love, and although it grew a bit on us, we were very happy to move on to the Italian favourite. It’s difficult to pin down exactly what it was about the taste, maybe a kind of bitterness. Should have noted it at the start, sorry.

A consistently excellent shot full of fruit. Amazing sweet aroma. Exactly what you want if you're looking for coffee dried with the natural process.

Shots have a great smell and strong fruity taste, for fans of natural processed coffee.

Quite nice. Quite average tasting though. I prefer something with more pronounced fruity flavours. Tasted a little sour.
