Organic CoffeeGrown and processed in Uganda
Coffee is Uganda’s major cash crop, in terms of foreign exchange earnings and employment creation. As a producer of coffee, Uganda ranks second in Africa after Ethiopia and eighth in the world. (UCDA 2017). Coffee as a commodity plays an essential role in the economy of Uganda (contributing between 20 – 30% of the foreign exchange earnings). Coffee is grown by 1.7 million households, of which about 40% are female-headed. The coffee industry employs over 5 million people through coffee value chain-related activities.
Uganda is famous for its Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora var. robusta), an indigenous species that still grows wild in the country’s rainforests, which accounts for about 80% of the coffee produced by volume, with the other 20% comprising Arabica varietals.
Arabica Coffee which was introduced from Ethiopia into Uganda and, is grown in the highland areas on the slopes of Mount Elgon in the East, Mt. Rwenzori in the West and Mt. Muhabura in the South Western Region, Okoro highlands in West Nile and other highland areas with an altitude ranging between 1,200-2,500m above sea level.
Bugisu coffee, remains the most sought-after type of coffee for its premium quality. It grows in eastern Uganda region known as Bugisu, which the coffee variety gets its name from. Bugisu coffee is grown at moderately high elevations (1,300 to 2,600 meters) on the slopes of Mount Elgon.
Mount Elgon lies on the country’s eastern border with Kenya and is a shield volcano and one of the oldest extinct volcanoes in East Africa, which is grown near Sipi Falls on the western slopes of Mt. Elgon. Coffee farms perch on its sides, shaded by forest cover and gaining vital moisture from steep water gullies. Mount Elgon’s volcanic oil provides the perfect environment for a rich ecosystem, meaning that this area delivers almost all (and some of the best) and strongest arabica beans in the county which is very suitable for darker roasting. Bugisu coffee has more body than most other East African coffees, and somewhat lower acidity. It’s got a rich body with a buttery texture, mild acidity and a dry finish.
