Blackback is an exclusive blend of Arabica from the Mount Elgon volcano and Robusta from the lowland Kibaale region. Bitter earthy robusta creates the solid body of the Blackback blend. The fruity hint of citrus fruits is given by our Arabica blend African Queen. If you want to taste an excellent strong coffee blend, Blackback is the right choice. The aroma of this coffee has floral notes and a distinct bitterness of Ugandan robusta. The acidity is very mild - citrusy. The flavour of this coffee is really interesting - liquorice, slightly sandalwood aftertaste, jasmine and figs.

Uganda is famous for its robustness all over the world. According to scientific knowledge, the first Robusta bushes grew in Uganda near Lake Victoria several thousand years ago. Our blend of Arabica and Robusta creates the perfect refreshing espresso. The rich crema is due to the proportion of robusta, which contains more caffeine, in the overall blend. We named her after the younger male gorilla - blackback for his energy.
We buy Blackback coffee with an awareness of our responsibility to protect the environment. Direct contact with the farmers is also essential, as we visit them personally on their coffee plantations. We know that only by buying directly from the growers can we get perfect quality. This also allows us to guarantee that the coffee we offer is not tainted by robbing farmers or slave child labour.
Arabica 65%, robusta 35%.
