Every month we will bring you two brand new, truly exceptional coffees. Bringing together bright and vibrant coffees from producers that we work closely with, always in line with the changing seasons. This box is an opportunity for us to share our most exciting micro-lots, never repeating a coffee within a calendar year. We roast and ship these coffees at the beginning of each month so all new orders placed will be not be shipped immediately.
Box 040 will be dispatched on Friday the 1st of May. This month’s Round Hill Box features two very different coffees from Uganda and Kenya.

Sironko
This coffee is a unique microlot sourced from farming communities across the district of Sironko, along the fertile foothills of Mount Elgon at 1800-2000 masl in eastern Uganda. Smallholders deliver their harvest to The Coffee Yard, a large drying facility established by producer Norman Mukuru. With nearly 2 decades of experience in the coffee sector, Norman founded The Coffee Yard to showcase coffees from across the region and refine post-harvest handling at scale. Since 2018, he has focused exclusively on developing natural processing methods, continuously refining drying techniques to achieve cleaner and more expressive cup profiles.

Kii AA
The Kii Factory is 1 of 3 mills owned and operated by the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, alongside Kiangoi and Karimikui. Established in 1953, the cooperative supports thousands of producers farming small plots of around 1 hectare at 1700-1900 masl, where coffee is typically grown alongside crops for household use. Around 850 of these smallholders contribute cherry to the Kii Factory, located in Embu, Kirinyaga, on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya.
