Uganda

An East African origin producing bright, wine-like arabica coffees.

Uganda is Africa's largest coffee exporter, growing both robusta (lowlands) and arabica (Mount Elgon slopes at 1500-2200 meters). Ugandan arabica, particularly from Bugisu and Sipi Falls, offers bright berry acidity, wine-like complexity, and chocolate undertones. The robusta sector is equally important, producing clean, neutral beans used in espresso blends and instant coffee worldwide.
