Our Ugandan Bugisu AA is 100% Arabica coffee, and although it has been growing Arabica coffee for more than 100 years, Uganda is more often associated with Robusta, the indigenous people of the region. In fact, Uganda is the seventh largest coffee producer in the world because of its huge Robusta production. Most Ugandan coffee is grown on small farms. In traditional families, women are responsible for growing coffee, which is often the only source of income for the family. More than 60% of Uganda's foreign exchange comes from coffee, and more than 30% of the Ugandan population is somehow related to coffee.

Uganda is a landlocked country. In the past few years, poor infrastructure and unstable political situation have often made it difficult for Uganda to transport its coffee crops to ports, often causing large amounts of coffee to be stored for a long time in steaming containers before shipment. Needless to say, the first good coffee had gone bad by the time it arrived at its destination. Recent improvements in both areas have helped, and the results have been good for both Ugandan consumers and growers. In spite of this, cupping needs to be done carefully to ensure quality.

Our Bugisu organic certification, Rainforest Alliance (RFA) certification, UTZ certification. There are more letters after its name than my doctor.

Bugisu is an area of eastern Uganda where coffee is grown on the slopes of Mount Mount Elgon at medium (1300 to 2600 m) above sea level. This makes it a hard bean, which is very suitable for dark baking. Bugisu coffee is more mellow and slightly less acidic than most East African coffee. It seems more reminiscent of good coffee in Sulawesi than coffee grown in neighboring Kenya. Perhaps it is this individualistic quality that attracts us, and this kind of Bugisu coffee is difficult to compare with other coffees. It's African, but it's not. It's Indonesian, but it's not. We think it's very good. The wine is full-bodied with a buttery texture, moderate acidity and a dry finish, just like a good red wine. We like the taste of cocoa powder, molasses and cherries very much.
