Bugisu Bugisu grows on the slopes of Mt.Elgon in eastern Uganda. The palate is thick and low in acidity, with a unique taste of raw papaya, which is very different from other East African coffee and is closer to Indonesian Java coffee. Most of Uganda is located in the Central African Plateau, with lakes, with an average elevation of 1000 mi 1200 meters. There are many lakes and plateaus in the mountains, which are known as "plateau water villages". The western branch of the East African Rift Valley runs through the western border, with many rivers and lakes at the bottom of the valley. Uganda has a great Victoria lake, coupled with the high mountains, which makes Uganda a mild climate suitable for growing coffee, although it spans both sides of the equator.

Uganda is the birthplace of Robusta in Africa, just as Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee, which was first found in Uganda. So far, Uganda has a history of growing coffee for more than 100 years. The output ranks second in Africa, after Ethiopia. At the same time, Uganda is one of the few major countries in Africa dedicated to the production of organic coffee.

Uganda's best coffee is produced mainly in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north-east and Ruwensori in the west.

The cultivation of coffee in Uganda is all small-scale family operation. The livelihood of 25% of the population is closely related to coffee production. About 500000 farms grow coffee, but mainly Robster. Robusta accounts for 90% of coffee production, and the remaining 1 is Arabica coffee. Arabica and Robusta collect from October to February of the following year.
