Uganda is a landlocked country in eastern Africa. Just as Ethiopia is the native place of Arabica coffee

Uganda is also one of the few major countries in Africa dedicated to the production of organic coffee.

The most famous coffee producing area in Uganda is the buckyasu area in the north near the Kenyan border.

Produced in the critical alpine Mt of Kenya. On the steep slopes of Elgon, coffee beans are transported almost entirely by donkeys.

Uganda, known as the "Pearl of the Dark Continent"

Have a beautiful natural environment (there are many nature reserves and national parks, diverse natural landscapes)

But because of its inland location, coffee bean exports often need to be shipped to port cities in neighboring countries.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain good relations with neighboring countries in order to harvest smoothly and "quickly".

And the processed beans are transported and exported. If processed coffee beans are stored in ports or even trucks

It has a fatal effect on the quality of beans.

Fortunately, the situation in East Africa has been relatively relaxed and stable in recent years, and the quality in recent years has been quite good.

Bugisu AA (AA is the highest grade of Ugandan coffee) has a fruity, dry aroma and a sweet finish in the throat.

The entrance has a rising sweetness and sour, does not stimulate the sweet and sour taste buds, after the entrance is replaced by a strong sweetness, neither frivolous nor too heavy texture.

Leave a touch of sweetness in the mouth.

Uganda, located at the source of the Nile, is a landlocked country in Africa that does not rely on the sea. Although it has a long history of producing coffee like other East African countries, the quality of coffee has never been improved because of the war caused by ethnic antagonism. Most of the good coffee is grown in areas adjacent to Kenya, and some good coffee beans are shipped to Kenya to be mixed with Kenyan coffee for sale. It was not until the end of the war 15 years ago that Uganda became a country with the rapid development of coffee. Uganda is a country with lush green forests, lakes, wetlands and rivers. Coffee is the largest crop in Uganda and earns the most foreign exchange. About 500000 coffee farms are engaged in coffee-related agriculture, accounting for 25% of the total population. Coffee trees are mostly robusta coffee trees, accounting for 94%. Only 6% of coffee is a traditional Arabica tree. These rare coffee beans are grown in tropical rainforests and most of them are exported to countries around the world.
