The Drink: Uganda Bugisu From Barista On Duty
Type: Whole Bean Single Origin
Overall Rating: 4.25 Out Of 5 Coffee Mugs
I was looking forward to my next coffee from Barista On Duty, a Uganda Bugisu. I’ve had a handful of coffees from Uganda and all of them have been memorable. Plus, the beans were roasted with some tenderness, love and care by Barista On Duty, so I had a feeling that I was going to be in for a treat.
That feeling was confirmed by the aroma. It was a fruity aroma, loaded with berries. It seemed like I was about to pour a mix of blueberries and cranberries into my mouth, not coffee. There was a hint of nuttiness in the background that balanced it out…a little.
From the first sip, I knew that it was indeed a Mike kind of coffee. It exploded with berry flavor that I can best describe as sweet cranberry flavor. That was followed by a slight tartness and a nutty flavor in the backend.
It had a medium body, with a syrupy feel that lingered on my tongue.
What can I say I really loved this coffee. It earned an excellent rating of 4.25 on the Daily Shot Of Coffee scale. It’s perfect for right after Thanksgiving dinner or every day. I sure don’t need a holiday to drink this coffee.

Thanks for chiming and sharing the info!
Yes Mike, We Have A Lot That We Are Implementing Now, But One Thing For Sure If It Says Cush It Is Organic Certified Or Non Certified & #FairTrade #MoreThanFair Or #DirectTrade Certified. Looking Forward To The New Year Of Bringing More Information Of Ethical Farming & Sustainability To The Forefront! Thanks Again For Your Attention To Detail In Educating Consumers.
wow! a bean that explodes on your tongue.
i could use that in the early morning.
great label photo!
i’d be tempted, if it actually exploded for me,
to give this a higher rating IF the beans
were organic but perhaps that isn’t to be.

Without The Farmers The Industry Would Not Be What It Is Today! Glad You Enjoyed! I’ll Do My Best, I’d Like To Say As An Evolving Artist, My Best Work Is Yet To Come!! *Cheers
Thanks Mike For The Excellent Review! I Have To Say Uganda Bugisu Is A Nice Coffee, Complex In Finding A Median. My Goal With This One Was To Hit The Sweet Spot, Too Dark And This Coffee Can Turn A Non Dark Drinker Away, Because Of It’s Strength! I Wanted To Capture Some Of The Lighter Characteristics, Without Them Being Too Alive! In All, A Very Interesting Cup. Glad You Found Pleasure In The Customization Experience!
I definitely enjoyed it! Please keep up the good work.
