Coffee Bio
Grown on Uganda's Mt. Elgon ranges, this coffee is selectively picked by farmers and delivered as fresh cherry to our Kapchorwa washing station, where it is sun-dried to build rich, fruity flavours and notes of wine, giving a smooth, aromatic cup that reflects passion and heritage.
Kapchorwa receives cherry from around 2,000 farmers on the slopes of Mt. Elgon, an inactive volcano on the border with Kenya. The station also uses greenhouse drying beds for its lots.
Quality starts at delivery, with ripe-cherry selection and sorting at the station. The lot is graded to SCAA 84–86 points with 12–15 total defects and no primary defects, screen 15 and up (90%).
A wild, fruit-forward natural with pomegranate, cranberry, plum and hibiscus, warm nutmeg spice and a tart, winey finish.
Kyagalanyi Coffee, our sister company in Uganda, runs washing stations and a farmer support programme that trains young people as farmer consultants and uses model farms to share good practices.
