African Ugandan Coffee

Ugandan coffee beans have a unique flavor of delicate flavor, which is very suitable for making Italian and other flavors of coffee. Coffee is the largest crop in Uganda, with about 500000 coffee farms engaged in coffee-related agriculture, accounting for 25 per cent of the total population. Coffee trees are mostly robusta coffee trees with strong growth, accounting for about 94 per cent of coffee cultivation in Uganda. Only 6 per cent are traditional Arabica tree species, these rare coffee beans grow in tropical rainforests and most of them are exported to countries around the world. Although Uganda is a big producer of Robusta, there are still good quality Arabica beans such as typica, SL14, SL28, Kenyan coffee is world-famous for SL28 and SL34, so the Ugandan government vigorously promotes and distributes SL seeds to farmers.

Coffee producing areas:

The Robusta variety is grown at low elevations in central, eastern, western and southeastern Uganda, up to 1200 metres above sea level.

Arabica is grown in the Elgon Mountains, the West Nile and the Renzori Mountains.

Coffee varieties:

Robusta, Arabica: typice, SL14, SL28.

Kenyan coffee is famous for SL28 and SL34, so the Ugandan government promotes it vigorously and distributes SL seeds to farmers.

Coffee processing:

Sun treatment, water washing treatment.

Ugandan coffee grading:

Ugandan coffee is graded much like Kenya, by size and density.

AA grade with excellent quality (flavor, taste) in AA Plus (AA+) cup.

AA particle size (Screen Size) 17 Murray 18 size.

AB particle size (Screen Size) 15 Murray 16 size, accounting for the majority of production.

C particle size (Screen Size) is smaller than that of AB.

TT uses an airflow filter to blow lighter beans from AA and AB beans.

T from C-grade beans, lighter beans blown by an airflow filter.

E Elephant Bean two beans into one of the large mutant beans, also known as elephant ear bean Elephant ear.

UG does not meet the above criteria.
