Tasting experience
As an Espresso, this shot is outstandingly similar to a Port wine. The aromas of orange zest and sweet grapes perfumes off its crema as a subtle warming smell and hint of woodsiness seals the overall flavour perception and experience like a warm body. Sweet grapes, Citrus, Woodsy and Memorable. Great as a winey finish. As it cools, the flavour mellows out to chocolate and a pronounced taste of Figs.

Resourcefulness & quality of the plant is now up to the farmer's decision to process it through natural or wet processed means. Rich soil & vanguard longitudinal growth of crops with intercropping vegetation helps with the balance in the environment and nutritional balance, leading to an overall more nutritious & delicious coffee as no element of malnutrition in a certain area of bean and flavour development is restricted.

Wanted to try something different but did not enjoy this blend. Not smooth - very tangy and bitter on the palette. Will stick to Golden Cup - our favourite.
Johan W.
Nice crisp acidity that doesn't upset my stomach.

Tried cowpresso for the first time and did they certainly did not disappoint! Beans arrived safely and fresh! Price is reasonable and the flavour notes are impeccable! My go to coffee place now!
Kelly C.
Mild tart aftertaste, easy to drink but not memorable.
Lasse S.
A little dark and generic for my taste and has a tendency to get a muddy taste. It benefits from lower brew temperature. Seems like it would be better as a slightly lighter roast.
Delwyn W.
Very pleased with the beans, always returning for more.
KC T.
Not my first time with this blend and won’t be my last time. More than a decent Choo’s so to say it’s my go to may undervalue the quality of these beans. Don’t sleep!
Klint T.
Great coffee
Elena B.
One of my favourite blends of coffee at Cowpresso. It has a tiny bit of acidity that adds extra something. And it is not bitter, very mild taste
Damien C.
nice fruity notes.
Brenda Nicole T.
This is my new favourite after my go-to Brazil Santos! Glad this is no longer just a seasonal special. ❤️
Delwyn W.
My go to coffee in the mornings when I need a cup of kopi o kosong. Love the taste.
MATTHEW C.
Tried buying this as the taste notes were interesting but upon trying it could not taste any of the tasting notes,it’s very sour and no body
Marcus V.
A very interesting roast. The beans had a fruity honey scent, with a medium to dark roast.
Vincent W.
Wonderful coffee. Nice crema and blends well with my oatmilk.
Justin L.
Woodsy was not in the "Flavour Notes" of website! I hate this flavor and would not have picked up this bag had I known that.
To be fair it is if you read the "Tasting Experience" and on the bag, but I was going off the other section. I got the bag and was surprised it said "Woodsy" on the bag.
Frustrating.
Seow Hong T.
Tried out of curiosity. Not bad at all.
KC T.
Came back to the Ugandan after trying the other festive blends during the holiday season. Never disappoints, always a pleasurable morning 30g. Keep up the good work Cowpresso and keep those special blends coming. I always like new surprises. The same gets boring after a while.
Alex C.
It was a little challenging to dial in this bag of beans initially, but after that the flavours are fairly consistent, even if a little muted in my opinion. As an espresso this tastes a little on the brighter side but it works well with milk.
Yee Ling W.
Great coffee
Klint T.
My daily coffee...sometime 2 cup at a time cos it is that great
Dexter P.
Great tasting espresso.
Elena B.
My first time trying this particular coffee and I love it! It has a strong taste and a character with a bit of acidity. I highly recommend!
Kin Onn L.
Fresh roast. Makes a reasonably nice cup with french press.
Khairil R.
So good I drank it all up before I could take a pic
Eigen G.
Good stuff
Cheryl C.
V interesting - smells like having tea in the woods!
Kelly C.
Like it as drip!
Alex C.
Very interesting bag of beans. As an espresso it’s bright and has a nice body, but in a cortado it can be richly chocolatey.
Jarrett O.
Packaging was faultless and airtight. Coffee was wonderful, great as a drip with woody earthy aromas, smooth mouthfeel and a sweet aftertaste. Reliable cowpresso as always!
Klint T.
Sweet Coffee. Love the cold espresso version
KC T.
As described, excellent as an espresso. Nice balance neither tipping into strong bitterness nor lightness, presenting a bold fruity 30g of elegance. The crema holds nicely, a clear hint of the tiger’s tail present in every cup. Would be nice if this stays on the menu.
Colin L.
Really sweet and chocolatey despite the official fruity tasting notes. Love it!
Lasse S.
Heavy on tobacco in both aroma and flavour. Use low temperatures when brewing as it can otherwise get a bit harsh.
Ye Choung L.
A surprisingly fruity coffee bean. A must try if you prefer fruity or flora tasting notes.
Ye J.
I usually regret trying new beans but this is pretty nice
Jacqueline C.
Undeniably a good cup but nothing distinctive about it.
Dexter P.
Great tasting espresso.
Eigen G.
Fantastic floral notes as an iced long black
Wesley C.
Love it so much!
Dan L.
Lovely as an espresso shot and great with milk! Definitely an unique bean with taste to match.
Colin L.
This was delightfully fruity and fragrant. Great one!
Philip K.
Nice Kopi for a change
Jeffrey Q.
Nice!
Nyssa W.
Enjoyed the fruity taste.
Seeu Kun O.
It’s alright
Aaron G.
Nicely roasted, and affordable. Espresso had somewhat of a potato/groundnut note on the first few days after roast, but this quickly blew off to reveal a scent of orange zest after the first week.
Eigen G.
Nice mellow sweetness as an iced espresso
Nicholas W.
Did a latte with the Uganda beans. Full bodied taste with a tinge of zesty-ness. I recommend all to try!
Zhang w.
nice try
Poh Ling K.
Great for espresso
Seow Hong T.
Trying for the first time. Lovely aroma, sweet and smooth. Great roast. Brewed using expresso machine, as recommended (:
May L.
Love it!
Wee Chuan T.
Very good single origin
KC T.
Lovely flavours, exactly as described. It took a few shots to get it right though. I had to dial way down just a touch before the burrs hit. It needs a really fine grind. I was over-extracting for the first few shots when I ground them at my previous bag Golden Cup’s grind size. Take note: it’s almost 2 units finer on a Eureka Mignon. However, once you achieve it, it’s good, well worth it.
Jennifer S.
