From the slopes of Mt. Elgon in eastern Uganda, the Sironko washing station produces coffees that showcase the balance of rich volcanic terroir and meticulous processing. The facility sits at 1,250 meters above sea level and receives cherries from farms reaching up to 1,850 meters. Sironko Coffee works with thousands of smallholder farmers who cultivate arabica coffee along the mountain’s expansive slopes. The combination of volcanic soil, high elevation, abundant sunshine, and steady rainfall creates the ideal environment for coffees with vibrant sweetness, deep fruit character, and fine cup clarity.
Uganda also holds a special place in Hyperion’s history as the destination of our very first origin trip. Coffees from this region continue to carry a deep sentimental value for us, representing the early relationships, experiences, and sense of responsibility that helped shape our approach to sourcing and roasting coffee.
At harvest, selectively hand-picked cherries are delivered to the washing station where they undergo careful sorting and density grading to identify the highest quality lots. After depulping and washing, the coffee is mechanically dried using a series of temperature-controlled drying chambers designed to preserve quality and consistency. This innovative drying approach minimizes the risk of defects often associated with traditional fermentation and sun drying while maintaining the coffee’s clean structure and crisp cup profile.
In the cup, expect comforting notes of maple brown sugar oatmeal, roasted almonds, and orange rind with balanced sweetness and a smooth, easy finish.
