Uganda Journey.

This coffee holds special significance for us, as it was carefully selected during our journey to Sipi Falls in Uganda earlier this year.

We were inspired by the dedication of the small community of farmers in the Tangwen Community.

The Sipi Falls micro-region is renowned for producing some of Uganda’s finest coffees. Its unique combination of high-altitude and the expertise passed down through generations of farmers are contributing factors.

The Producer

This lot was carefully sourced during our trip to Uganda, where it was cultivated by a small, dedicated community of local farmers.

The cherries are delivered to Zukuka Bora Coffee Company, a long standing partner in the region. This initiative was established to uplift the people of Mt. Elgon, providing vital support for education, clean water projects, health promotion, and farming practices.

Ripe coffee cherries are selectively harvested and delivered to the wet mill. The harvest is then floated in fresh water and separated by density. The selected cherries are then fermented in sealed tanks for 12 hours. Lastly, the coffee is dried for 30 days on shaded, raised beds.

    Ripe cherries are washed and then pulped to remove the majority of skin and fruit from the bean before its fermented.

    Fermentation is brief and helps to remove any remaining material from the pulping process as well as adding complexity to the coffee.

    The coffee is then washed and sun-dried, mechanically dried, or a combination of the two until the desired moisture level is reached.
