MOUNT ELGON - UGANDA
Origin: Uganda
Region: Mount Elgon
Proc. Method: Natural
Roasting Notes: We find a clean and balanced cup with citrus fruits, dark cocoa, black tea, and apple.
The sweet and sugary profiles of the South combine beautifully with the complex acidities of the North for a versatile single origin offering or blender workhorse coffee enjoyed as a filtered coffee or espresso.
About the Farms:
Our Uganda beans are purchased as a direct trade with the coffee farmers through Mountain Harvest, a Lutheran World Relief organization. Purchasing this coffee helps support Mountain Harvest and Lutheran World Relief’s mission to help rural coffee farmers raise income, increase resilience, and provide smallholder farmers a pathway out of poverty.
This specific coffee hails from the communities of Mount Elgon, an extinct volcano on the border of Uganda and Kenya. For these farmers, coffee is more than a crop - it’s a ministry. Part of their ministry is the belief that “Education is Light,” which has allowed them to build a strong community and a school to help children realize better futures. With your purchase of our Uganda beans, you become part of that ministry.
