Trader Joe's has just expanded its ever-evolving, limited-edition Small Lot Coffee lineup to include a brand-new offering: Uganda Rwenzori Mountains of the Moon Small Lot Coffee.
Just as the name suggests, the new Uganda Rwenzori Mountains of the Moon Small Lot Coffee is a small-batch coffee featuring fine-quality Arabica coffee beans from Uganda. The coffee beans are grown, harvested, and sun-dried by local farmers in the foothills below the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains along the western edge of Uganda. The beans are then treated to a medium roast to bring out natural notes of strawberry, chocolate, and dried black currants. The result is a smooth, easy-drinking coffee that can be brewed with your method of choice and pairs perfectly alongside breakfasts like a yogurt parfait, or subtly sweet desserts like shortbread cookies.
