Planning & Nurturing
Planning & Nurturing

The journey of our coffee begins with seedlings that are planted, cared for and tediously tended to by the hands of native farmers who share our deep respect and regard for the homeland. Particularly rich in nitrogen and nutrients, the local terroir creates a nurturing environment for the coffee plants to thrive.

As the plants grow at high altitudes, eco-friendly fertilizers and earth-based farming practices are used to ensure each one meets its full potential without impacting the dense soil from which it’s grown.

Harvesting & Cultivation
Harvesting & Cultivation

When the time is right, and the coffee cherries have reached their peak ripeness, the process of harvesting begins. A long-drawn-out labor of love, this meticulous process involves carefully selecting
and picking the cherries by hand.

Though more labor intensive than other harvesting methods, the selective picking technique results in coffee that has a more refined flavor profile. This step is not just
about cultivation; it's about preserving the integrity and the traditions of Ugandan coffee.

Sun-Drying & Processing

After harvesting, the cherries make their way to sun-drying patios, where they are laid out to dry naturally under the warm Ugandan sun. One of patience and precision, this traditional process not only enhances the flavors of the beans but also honors the age-old practices of Ugandan coffee cultivation.

By allowing the beans to slowly shed their moisture and regularly turning them by hand to ensure even drying, this sustainable method strikes a well-tuned balance between nature’s timeline and tradition.

Fresh Packaging for Maximum Flavor
Fresh Packaging for Maximum Flavor

Finally, the roasted beans are ready to be packaged. To preserve their rich flavors and robust aromas, the beans are rapidly cooled and then immediately placed in airtight foil bags designed to lock in freshness. This step is essential not only for maintaining taste but also for extending the shelf life of the coffee.

By using specialized fresh seal bags, any gases emitted by the beans post-roasting can escape without letting any air in. Doing so prevents oxidation to stave off stale flavors and loss of aroma over time.
