“For magnificence, for variety of form and colour — the Pearl of Africa.”

Uganda, as it has been known for over a century

The origin

Grown at altitude.
Picked by hand. Perfected over generations.

Robusta is indigenous to Uganda — it grew wild on the shores of Lake Victoria long before it travelled the world. Today the country pairs that heritage with washed Arabica from the volcanic slopes of Mount Elgon and the Rwenzoris: bright, winey, floral. Bugisu AA, Sipi Falls, Rwenzori, Wugar, Drugar and Screen 18 — each shaped by altitude, volcanic soil and the craft of 1.8 million smallholder families.

Origin regions

Four terroirs. One country.

East · Arabica

Mount Elgon

Washed Arabica at 1,600–1,900 m. Bright, winey, blackcurrant. Home of Bugisu AA and Sipi Falls.

West · Arabica

Rwenzori

The “Mountains of the Moon.” Chocolate, red berry, rounded body from glacial-fed highland slopes.

Northwest · Arabica

West Nile

Okoro Arabica grown on remote highlands. Wine, stone fruit and a clean, elegant finish.

Central · Robusta

Lake Victoria Basin

The cradle of Robusta. Wugar and Drugar — clean and nutty to earthy, chocolatey and full-bodied.

The standard

Tasted at origin.
Cupped before you commit.

Every lot is scored and cupped before a single bag ships — full traceability to the plot, EUDR documentation prepared per consignment, and samples on your bench before you sign. Nothing about this is left to chance.
