Farm & Producer Notes:

The Bugisu region, nestled on the western slopes of Mt. Elgon in Uganda, is both a geographical area and the home of the Bugisu people, whose name has become synonymous with some of the country’s finest coffee. This highland area—rich in volcanic soil and cool mountain climate—produces Bourbon and Kenya SL varietals celebrated for their vibrant character.

Kawacom, one of Uganda’s top exporters, has been a driving force in preserving Bugisu’s legacy through the Sipi Falls Coffee Project. This initiative works with thousands of smallholder farmers across the Kapchorwa, Bulambuli, and Kween districts, offering both centralized wet milling and traceable purchasing of carefully processed parchment coffee.

At elevations around 1,300 meters, cherries are delivered to the wet mill for meticulous sorting, density separation, and fully washed processing before being patio dried. This rigorous attention to detail ensures only the highest quality beans move forward, reflecting the cooperative spirit and agricultural heritage of the region. Harvest takes place in October, with export beginning in December, continuing a tradition that has made Bugisu coffee a proud emblem of Ugandan excellence.
