Farming community

Bakonzo (Konjo)

Grown by Bakonzo farming families on the northern slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains around Kasese, where small, organic plots are worked as a family effort and women play a leading role in the farmer groups that manage them. The Bakonzo call these peaks the Mountains of the Moon, and the high altitude and cool, near-permanent mist that gave them the name are what slow the cherry's ripening and deepen the cup into red fruit and chocolate.
