Coffee Bio
The Rwenzori Mountains are home to the high-altitude coffee district of Kasese. Volcanic soils and cool, misty conditions suit Arabica, and coffee is a major source of income for local farmers, many of them women.
The region once had a reputation for poorly dried Arabica. New receiving stations in Bugoye and Kisinga have improved cherry collection and quality, and a Geographical Indication programme aims to formalise quality standards and traceability.
This natural is made from whole cherries sun-dried on raised beds, turned regularly and dried slowly over an extended period, producing a fruit-forward, clean and consistent cup.
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.
Lot 2 from the 25/26 crop is in store; the new 26/27 lot is at origin and pending sample approval.
