The name ‘Bukonzo Dream’ originates from the Bakonzo tribe people of Uganda. Holding brave and friendly traits they warmly welcome people who dream of being able to provide better opportunities for each generation.  Bukonzo Dream is a fantastic lot from the Kisinga Coffee Station, collected by nearly 400 farmers. The coffee is harvested by hand with each farmer carefully selecting only the most perfect ripe cherries, and then processed using the natural method.

Pedregal & San Antonio

The municipality of Inzá is located in the corner of the Department of Cauca, bordering with Tolima and Huila, and looking out to the west over the Pacific Ocean. Situated on the “Macizo Colombiano” (the Colombian Plateau), which surrounds the high peaks of Tolima and Huila, the region is an important source of water and wildlife, in addition to being prime coffee growing land. This coffee was produced by 52 smallholder coffee producers hailing from the neighbouring sub-municipalities of Pedregal and San Antonio, which Michael visited in January 2024. Cauca’s violent past, with a heavy presence of FARC guerrillas, had historically prevented specialty-focused exporters from establishing a presence in the region. As violence has diminished, it has enabled the growers in the region to seek increased access to markets for quality, aking advantage of the region’s wonderful coffee-growing conditions. Every single microlot scoring 85 points or above by the community cupping lab. These stringent standards result in very limited quantities of this exceptional blend being made available for export.
Roasters Notes Cracker
Like rummaging through your stocking, Cracker is a greatest hits of all my favourite bits of Christmas. Inzá Cauca Mitaca lends deep, orangey notes, whilst Bukonzo Dream gives berries and booze. All that's missing is a lump of coal at the bottom.
About Uganda
Uganda is one of the few countries with indigenous coffee, with native varieties of Robusta growing wild in the rainforests flanking Lake Victoria.

Arabica was introduced at the start of the 20th century and, despite devaluation of coffee in the 1980s, Uganda is poised to produce ever better specialty grade Arabica.

The main harvest of Kent, Typica, SL-14 and SL-28 varieties takes places between October and March, with a second, fly crop from April to August.

Expect a dark fruit sweetness and clean finish.
About Colombia
Colombia is the third largest coffee-producing country in the world. Mountainous and fertile, it has multiple tropical microclimates which result in incredibly diverse, quality coffee harvested from October to February, with a second, fly crop several months later, varying by region and microclimate.

There is a huge variety of coffee produced in Colombia, but the country’s coffee is generally associated with tasting notes of chocolate, nut and a moderate, citrusy acidity.
