Elgon Region Farm : Smallholder family farms Producer : Kawacom Sipi Falls (ECOM Group) Varietal : SL14 / SL28 Process : Washed Altitude : 1,800-2,100 MASL Comforting and easy to drink. Milk chocolate and blackcurrant lead, with a warm mixed spice note running through. It has a smooth body, gentle acidity and a sweet, lingering finish. The place Bugisu is on the slopes of Mount Elgon in Eastern Uganda, home to the Bagisu people, whose coffee-growing traditions go back generations. The area is known for its waterfalls, lush vegetation and the iconic Sipi Falls. Volcanic soils, plentiful rainfall and high elevation suit Arabica well. The farms Thousands of smallholder farmers grow this coffee between 1,800 and 2,100 metres. They use sustainable practices, including intercropping and soil conservation, to keep their farms healthy and productive. Since 1999, the Sipi Falls Arabica Coffee Project has supported local growers with agronomic training, sustainable farming and a focus on quality. The process After harvest, the cherries are washed processed, which keeps the cup clear and balanced. Together with the altitude and volcanic soils, that gives a coffee that is sweet, structured and full-bodied.
