Last Updated: 2025/08/21, There was an emirate called Kitala in present-day western Uganda before the 13th century AD. In the 13th and 14th century, the nomadic Bachwezi conquered the country. From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century, the Luo people who originally lived in southern Sudan went south to replace the rule of the Bachwezi, established the kingdom of Buniolo and established the Babito dynasty in Buganda. These foreign rulers were soon engaged in local farming.

There was an emirate called Kitala in present-day western Uganda before the 13th century AD. In the 13th and 14th century, the nomadic Bachwezi conquered the country. From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century, the Luo people who originally lived in southern Sudan went south to replace the rule of the Bachwezi, established the kingdom of Buniolo and established the Babito dynasty in Buganda. These foreign rulers were soon assimilated by the local Bantu people who were engaged in agriculture and were more educated. In southwestern Uganda, the Xinda established the Kingdom of Ankolai. In northern Uganda, many separate small countries and clan tribes have been established. Around 1830, Prince Capoyo of the Kingdom of Bunioro established the Toro Kingdom east of Mount Ruwenzori. Since the 17th century, the kingdom of Buganda has grown stronger and expanded outward. By the middle of the 18th century, its power had surpassed that of the Kingdom of Buniolo.

Colonists invade

In the 1870s, British colonists attempted to annex all parts of Uganda, which was thwarted by the Kingdom of Buniolo. At the end of the 1970s, the Anglo-French Christian Church went to the Kingdom of Buganda to preach. They interfered in politics and caused sectarian strife. After years of war, the kingdom of Buganda declined rapidly.

In 1890, British troops invaded Buganda. Captain Frederick Frederick Lugard, the agent of the Royal British East Africa Company (later Governor of Hong Kong Luigi), forced King Mwaanga of Buganda to sign protection treaties with him twice. In June 1894, the British government signed the New Testament with Buganda, and Buganda officially became a British protectorate. Then, in 1896, Britain extended its protection to all of Uganda.

The people of all parts of Uganda resisted the British aggression tenaciously. In 1893, Britain sent troops to occupy the Kingdom of Bunioro, and King Kabarega led some of the people to wage guerrilla warfare for six years. In 1897, King Mwaanga of Buganda raised his army against Britain and later joined Kabarega in the Rango region. In April 1899, the two kings were captured and the uprising failed. In order to facilitate its rule, Britain preserved the feudal kingdoms such as Buganda, Bunioro, Toro, Ancole and their monarchs, of which Buganda reserved more rights. But the administrative power is in the hands of British colonial officials headed by the Governor. It was not until after the second World War that individual Africans were allowed to participate in the executive and legislative bodies of the colonial authorities. Economically, Britain has turned Uganda into a supplier of cotton, coffee and other agricultural products, trying to prevent Africans from developing their own business and processing industries.

The coffee growing industry in Uganda is one of the pillar industries of its exports. Uganda is the birthplace of Robsta in Africa, just as Ethiopia is the origin of Arabica coffee, while Robster coffee was first discovered in Uganda. So far, Uganda has a history of growing coffee for more than 100 years. At the same time, Uganda is one of the few major countries in Africa dedicated to the production of organic coffee. In Uganda (Uganda), Arabica coffee beans account for only 15% of the country's total coffee production, and Uganda's best coffee is mainly produced in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north-east and Ruwensori in the west.

Mbale on the eastern side of Mount Elgon and other producing areas on the western side near the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have the export name Wugar. The official ranks are Oaganic (Organic), Bugisu AA, Bugisu A, Bugisu B, Bugisu PB, Wugar, Drugar and other unlisted grades. To find a good Ugandan coffee, you must first recognize the BugisuAA, An and PB grades, but because the country is inland and has many transport problems, it often comes to raw beans with low moisture content and not green appearance. However, Ugandan coffee is not a type of coffee that emphasizes rising aroma, as long as the raw beans are not and turn 100 or yellowed, they can generally have a good flavor in the producing area, with a low ripe fruit aroma, such as the taste of red wine, and thick mellow thickness. it is similar to some Kenyan beans with low flavor, but it also has a mild soil flavor, so it is quite different from other East African countries in flavor characteristics. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to Asian Indonesian Sulawesi Tonaga coffee and Java manor coffee. The baking degree between City+ and Full City+ is all better.

Ugandan coffee beans have a unique flavor of delicate taste, which is very suitable for making Italian and other flavors of coffee. More importantly, Ugandan coffee beans are strictly screened according to the standards of the international market to ensure their high quality and pollution-free characteristics.

Africa is the hometown of the two major varieties of coffee, Arabica and Robusta, while Uganda, which is located in eastern Africa and enjoys the laudatory names of "plateau water hometown" and "Pearl of East Africa", is believed by many people to be the birthplace of Robusta.
