Uganda Coffee Bean Flavor Description Processing Method Grinding Scale Variety Taste Characteristics Introduction

Ugandan coffee flavor

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 state-owned manor coffee. The baking degree between City+ and Full City+ is all better.

In Uganda, the value of coffee is much more than a drink, it is an indispensable part of interpersonal communication. The coffee beans wrapped in banana leaves are roasted over the fire to make a food called "Mpokoto", which is very much like Chinese zongzi. David took out some coffee beans for me to chew and taste together. David explained that chewing coffee beans is a symbol of the relationship between people, the relationship-building ceremony. Business partnerships often start with the aroma of coffee.

Uganda's coffee production ranks first in Africa, accounting for more than 70% of its total exports. Uganda is also the hometown and main producing area of Robes specialty coffee. In the 1960s, Ugandan coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags a year. By the mid-1980s, coffee production had dropped to 2.5 million bags a year, mainly for political reasons. But now coffee production is on the rise again, currently about 3 million bags a year. It is mainly exported to the European Union, with Sweden, Italy and other countries as the largest coffee buyers.

In order to improve the quality and reduce the cost of coffee, Uganda cancelled the exclusive management right of the Coffee Management Committee (Coffee Marketing Board, referred to as CMB) in November 1990. Most of the work originally undertaken by the Coffee Management Committee has now been handed over to the cooperative organization. Privatized coffee accounts for 2% of the country's export revenue, so the government imposes a tax on coffee shops, hoping to increase much-needed revenue. Instead, coffee exports fell by 20%, and coffee smuggling became more and more serious at the equator across Uganda, making it a major producer of robusta beans in the world. In the 1960s, Ugandan coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags a year. By the mid-1980s, coffee production had dropped to 250 bags a year, mainly for political reasons. But now coffee production is on the rise again, currently about 3 million bags a year. One of the main problems facing the coffee industry is that there are no good roads to transport coffee to ports such as Mombasa in Kenya or Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
