A brief introduction to the history and culture of the origin and development of fresh-flavored Ugandan boutique coffee beans

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 are harvested from October to February.

Ugandan coffee is mainly exported to the European Union, of which Germany, Italy and other countries are the largest buyers of coffee.

This coffee is produced in the Mount Elgonne region of Uganda. Balanced acidity and rich oil between 1600 and 1900 meters above sea level are the characteristics of this coffee. It tastes mild and simple, with a papaya flavor.

Uganda is the country of origin of coffee grown in Robusta, but commercial cultivation of Arabica species here did not begin until early 1900. Today, there are still a large number of wild robusta coffee trees in Uganda, which is rare in cities in the world. As a landlocked country, the large coffee cultivation in Uganda is often interplanted, where coffee trees are mingled with food crops and rubber trees, because of the unique natural environment, the coffee here spends an average of twice a year, which makes Uganda the largest producer of coffee honey in the world.

Later, when the ship replaced the sailboat, due to the shortened delivery time, people drank relatively fresh coffee beans. But people who are used to drinking Chen beans are not used to the fresh taste, so they desperately pursue old Java coffee, so that the Indonesian government and some businessmen deliberately store fresh beans in warehouses for one or two years and then sell them to consumers. In fact, compared with fresh beans, the acidity of aged Java beans is close to zero, but the flavor is more intense. Because of the long storage time, the increase in cost and the limited quantity, Java has always been a hot item in the coffee market. In the 1880s, 0 merchants deliberately tampered with some fresh Guatemalan or Venezuelan beans to imitate aged Java for high prices. It is intolerable that 0 merchants dye coffee beans to make them look more like old Java, but there is no doubt that the dyed chemicals are certainly toxic.
