An exceptional honey-processed Ugandan coffee from Counter Culture Coffee, born from a nearly decade-long partnership with Mountain Harvest.
Mountain Harvest was founded in 2017 to change perceptions of Ugandan coffee, and Counter Culture has worked with them since their very first harvest.
Over nearly a decade, that partnership has helped deepen Mountain Harvest’s processing expertise, return premium prices to farmers, and expand regenerative farming training.
Kajere Honey reflects those years of learning and shared vision. Exceptionally clean and sweet with notes of black cherry, grape, and raw sugar, this honey-processed lot is a testament to what a long-term partnership can produce.
Note: The best amount of rest time for peak flavor is 5–7 days off roast!

Target brew time: 2:15–2:45. Adjust based on taste. For more sweetness, aim for a longer brew time closer to 2:45 with a finer grind. For more acidity, go for a shorter brew time closer to 2:15 with a coarser grind. The goal is balance!
