Blue Turaco
Blue Turaco was founded by Wycliffe Sande, who grew up in Uganda picking coffee to pay his school fees, and it buys direct from Ugandan smallholders. We stock the ground 100% Specialty Ugandan Robusta because robusta is usually hidden inside blends; here it is named on the bag and sold on its own terms, with an unusually short line between farm and packet.

About Blue Turaco
Blue Turaco is a UK coffee brand founded by Wycliffe Sande, who grew up in Uganda picking coffee to pay his school fees. It describes itself as the only coffee brand in UK retail owned by an African coffee farmer, and buys direct from Ugandan smallholders. The name comes from the brightly coloured turaco birds Sande remembers singing in the trees as he picked. The coffee is 100% Ugandan robusta, graded and roasted, the brand says, by award-winning UK baristas.
Blue Turaco suits the drinker who finds most arabica too thin or sharp and takes milk in the morning. The brand calls it chocolatey, nutty and rich, and that weight carries through a flat white or a milky cafetiere where a light roast disappears. If you drink black and like bright, fruity origins, it is the wrong bag; with milk, pair it with a caramel wafer or a chocolate digestive.
