More about this coffee
Mount Elgon is in the Busba region of Uganda. It is an extinct volcano on the border of Kenya. Here the coffee cherries are hand picked due to the mountainous terrain and the long harvesting season. This Arabica coffee grows favourably in plentiful rainfall, partly volcanic soils and is shaded by banana trees.
Brimming with environmental, social and ecological benefits, this outstanding single origin coffee supports some 300 coffee farmers in a reforestation project around the Mount Elgon region of Uganda. The project provides a safeguard for Mount Elgon National Park and Central Forest – one of the most diverse ecosystems in Africa – by reducing pressure on resources. The coffee rewards farmers in and around Mount Elgon to protect the forests by planting trees and reducing a dependency on clearing forests for firewood, which in turn protects hundreds of animal species including forest monkeys and antelope which graze on the mountainside.”
