Bag Size

With a bold, juicy body and delicate fruit-forward notes, Kalingwe is a coffee that really lingers. Expect soft honey sweetness layered with ripe strawberry and peach, with a clean and vibrant finish. It’s beautifully balanced, rich without being heavy and lively without overpowering.

Grown high in the foothills of Uganda’s Rwenzori Mountains, this coffee is shaped by altitude, care, and time. Sitting at 1,700–2,000 metres above sea level, Kalingwe is naturally processed, with cherries hand-picked at peak ripeness and slowly sun-dried on raised beds. The result is a cup that’s expressive, complex, and consistently high quality.

Kalingwe is produced by a close-knit community of 107 smallholder farmers who have been working together for over five years. Through ongoing training, support, and improved agronomy practices, farmers have steadily increased both quality and yields, and it shows in the cup.

But this coffee goes beyond flavour. Together with Agri Evolve, we’re proud to support long-term growth within the Kalingwe community:

Two Village Savings & Loans Scheme (VSLA) groups, helping build financial independence
1,376 tree seedlings distributed in 2023 to support environmental sustainability
Fair, ethical sourcing that puts farmers first

Scoring 85.5 on the SCA scale, Kalingwe is a standout coffee that reflects the dedication of its farmers and the unique terroir of the Rwenzoris, a cup with real depth, purpose, and personality.

How will my coffee be packaged?

We use heat sealed bags with a one-way valve (to let gases escape but none in) and this will keep your coffee fresh for up to four months unopened (if you really want to keep it that long!) We use box-bottomed resealable valve bags as our default but if you want the tall non-resealable valve bags then please ask in the notes for order section. We then pack your bags of coffee into bespoke cardboard boxes. These will prevent your coffee from being damaged in transit and are 100% recyclable.

Where does The Bean Shop deliver to?

We currently deliver all over the UK and Europe. It can get a bit tricky further afield than that as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track on the parcel's whereabouts. To be honest there is probably a coffee roaster a bit closer if you're outside Europe anyway!

How much does postage cost?

No-one really likes paying for postage but in order to avoid increasing our prices we have opted to charge a flat-rate of £3.00 for all our UK orders. This is expensive if you only buy one bag of coffee but becomes very reasonable if you order more bags. We use Royal Mail 1st class for orders up to 3 bags. For orders 4 bags and over we use DPD 48 hour delivery as a default (this option will require a signature upon delivery.)

In geographically isolated areas of the UK, DPD can take longer than 48 hours so we have added the option of paying for Royal Mail which could be more efficient.

How long will it take?

We aim to deliver your order within 48 hours of receiving it (under normal circumstances) and are often much quicker! During peak periods (i.e. Christmas) your order may take a little longer due to delays or extreme weather conditions.

If I'm not in?

For orders of 1 bag of coffee our boxes are post-box friendly so should be delivered whether or not you're in. For larger parcels, usually the delivery person will leave a card saying it has been returned to the post depot where you can collect it from. Many customers find it easier to have their coffee delivered to their place of work so that there is always someone there to accept it.

Smells divine

"When I opened the pack, I was in love with the aroma. Smells like blackcurrant chocolate to me. It’s making my mouth water. Amazing"

I like this coffee; a

"I like this coffee; a rounded taste, with a slight bitter edge, which I like. I have visited, some years ago, the Rwenzori area of Uganda. In the family I was staying with, the lady grew coffee beans, along with several other kinds of beans, in her farming area. She said that the beans had to be sent to Kenya, as there was no way of processing them in Uganda. I am pleased that things have changed for the better."

— David B. (5/5)

Delicious!

"Delicious!"

— Will S. (5/5)

Mellow fruitiness

"Espresso: Fruity without being too bright. Cappuccino: mellow sweet fruitiness that lingers. One of the nicest coffees I have had in a few years. Very much to my taste. I keep going back for more. 11 days after roasting. Very easy to dial in the grind. First time trying this roaster and very much looking forward to the several other bags of different beans purchased to try out. Setup: La Pavoni Europiccola (post millenium), Eureka Mignon."

— Greg (5/5)

Slow Burn but now love this coffee.

"After doing some mortar work on an old greenhouse base I received the gift of a Delonghi Coffee Machine. So the search for a good coffee began, had heard about the Bean Shop and the fact they offer mail oder gives me options as I live on an island. Purchased the first bag of beans and thought the coffee was okay. But it started to grow on me, this is now my regular drink, absolutely love it."

— Ray (5/5)

Unusual and delicious

"We buy this bean on a regular basis, not an every day brew but a once a week sort of coffee that tastes significantly different to our usual choices. Thank you Bean Shop for quick delivery and a well chosen and roasted bean"

— Ken (5/5)
