Our delicious organically grown and ethically traded coffees are produced on the western slope of Mt. Elgon in Eastern Uganda by 884 farmers who qualify as "micro-farms" because they only farm an average of 2.4 acres. Unlike many conventional coffees, these farmers produce so little each year that they must band together to bring their coffees to market.
We are dedicated to helping these small-holder farmers by challenging the norms for coffee production in Uganda. This community of farmers grow coffee — primarily the SL-14 and Nyasaland varieties — in some of the highest elevations in the world, ranging from 1,600 to 2,200 meters. By elevating it to the highest standards, through improved production and processing, tapping into the unrealized potential of Uganda’s arabica coffee.
We’re driven by the belief that what tastes best in your cup can and should be sustainable for the environment and provide a living income for farmers.
