The Origin

The Bujuku Valley coffee from Small Batch coffee roasters originates from the Rwenzori mountains region of Uganda.

This Ugandan coffee comes from the foot of the Rwenzori mountains.

An area with fertile soil, plentiful rainfall and some of the highest altitudes in Uganda - perfect conditions for speciality Arabica production.

Uganda is fairly new to the speciality coffee scene. Although the country has always produced coffee it mainly exported Robusta coffee (and is thought to be where it was born).

Nowadays 80% of the coffee that is produced is Robusta, of which some of the highest quality in the world can be found.

Arabica makes up the further 20% but is one the rise with a demand for the unique flavours and cup profile that Ugandan coffees produce.

Following the liberalisation of the coffee industry in the ‘90s, today 100% of the industry is privately owned which means you can trace some coffees back to the exact farm.
