Your guide to Uganda Green Coffee

  • How do different regions in Uganda produce different tasting coffee?

    Coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains is grown at altitudes of 1500-2300 meters above sea level in rich volcanic soils. This region primarily produces naturally processed coffee, which contributes to its unique flavour r profile.
    The steep slopes of Mount Elgon make transportation challenging, so coffee is often carried by donkey. Coffees from this region are typically washed processed, offering bright, fruity notes with a hint of wine-like acidity.
    In the West Nile Region, coffee is grown at altitudes of 1300-1600 meters above sea level and shaded by indigenous trees, coffee from the West Nile region is usually washed processed, with a distinct citrus flavor profile.

  • What makes Ugandan coffee beans unique?

    Ugandan coffee is known for its bold and diverse flavor profiles, shaped by the country's unique growing conditions. While Robusta coffee dominates, offering earthy, chocolatey notes with higher caffeine content, Arabica is also grown in regions like the Rwenzori Mountains, Mount Elgon, and West Nile, where high altitudes and volcanic soils create coffees with bright acidity and fruity flavors.
    Uganda’s coffee stands out for its variety of processing methods, including both washed and naturally processed options, which enhance the depth of flavor. The combination of distinct growing regions, Robusta and Arabica varieties, and unique processing techniques makes Ugandan coffee a flavorful and distinctive choice for coffee lovers.

  • Our relationship with Ugandan coffee producers

    We partner with Onwani, an African-focused green coffee company founded in Uganda in 2018, to source exceptional Ugandan coffee. Onwani works closely with a select group of producers who are dedicated to creating a tangible impact in their communities and producing high-quality coffee. Their approach prioritizes long-term, genuine relationships with farmers, ensuring that each producer’s story and brand is highlighted. By valuing consistent partnerships over one-off transactions, Onwani fosters transparency and mutual respect. Their straightforward, jargon-free approach helps build a trusting and collaborative environment for both farmers and buyers.

What sizes or quantities can I order?

We offer coffee starting from as little as 0.5kg (1 lb) all the way up to full sacks. If you’re looking for larger quantities than what’s listed on our site, just get in touch! We’d be happy to help you organise and place a custom order. We're here to make sure you get exactly what you need.

Do you offer samples or trial batches before committing to larger orders?

Yes, we offer samples for most of our coffees. If you need a larger sample than what’s typically available, we recommend trying one of the smaller quantity options listed on our site. That way, you can test the coffee before committing to a larger order.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for large-scale or long-term contracts?

For larger-scale or long-term contracts, you can start with as little as a single bag. We’re also working on tools to help you access harvests and reserve coffees before they even leave the country. While it’s not fully ready yet, we’re always here to help roasters of any size connect with the producers they want to work with.
