Last Updated: 2024/11/17, Uganda is mostly located in the Central African Plateau, with many lakes, with an average altitude of 1000-1200 meters. There are many intermountain lakes and plateaus, which are known as plateau water towns. The western branch of the Great Rift Valley runs through the western border, and there are many rivers and lakes at the bottom of the valley. Uganda has a Victoria Lake, coupled with many mountains in the territory, making Uganda, although across the equator, but mild climate, suitable for coffee cultivation. Uganda is right and wrong

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. The collection time for Arabica and Robusta is from October to February.

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, which is known as "plateau water hometown" and "Pearl of East Africa", is believed by many to be the birthplace of Robusta.

Uganda is one of the few countries in the world that can grow both Arabica and Robusta, with an environment and climate suitable for coffee growth. Uganda is located between 9-2000 meters above sea level, with an annual temperature of 15 ℃-28 ℃.

The unique flavor of Ugandan coffee beans makes them 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. Mbale in the Elgang Mountains in the east and other producing areas in the west near the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo are exported under the name Wugar. The official ranks are Oaganic (Organic), BugisuAA, BugisuA, BugisuB, Bugisu PB, Wugar, Drugar and other unlisted grades. To find Ugandan coffee with good performance, you must first recognize the three grades of BugisuAA, An and PB, but because the country is inland and has many transportation problems, it often comes to raw beans with low moisture content and not emerald green appearance, but Ugandan coffee is not a type of coffee that emphasizes aroma, as long as the raw beans are not and turn 100 or yellowed, they can generally have a good flavor performance in the producing areas. It has a low ripe fruit aroma, such as the taste of red wine, and a thick mellow thickness, which is similar to some Kenyan beans with low tone, but with 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 state-owned manor coffee. The baking degree between City+ and Full City+ is all better.
