About This Coffee

This coffee originates from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda, a region known for its fertile volcanic soil and high altitude. The coffee is grown by smallholder farmers in the Bakonzo community, where the challenging terrain requires the use of donkeys for transport. This is a natural processed coffee, reflecting the traditional production methods of the region. It is well-suited for filter brewing methods.

Deppe & Co

Deppe & Co is a specialty roastery in Bielefeld, Germany, founded in 2003 by Axel Deppe under the original name The Coffee Store, inspired by the American coffee shop model. After 20 years the business rebranded in 2023 as Deppe & Co, with the Co standing for the barista team behind the counter. The roastery sources through direct trade and through importers who maintain close ties to the farmers, tracing lots down to the individual field where possible, from origins including Brazil, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru and Vietnam. Product listings carry varietal, altitude, processing method and producer name, as seen with the Mundo Novo from Marco A. Guardbaxo's farm in Mococa, Brazil at 810 to 950 metres. Deppe & Co roasts several times a week on site and runs three several across Bielefeld and Paderborn.
