Buganda Heritage

Why it tastes this way

Grown by Baganda smallholders on the lake-basin lowlands of central Uganda, where coffee has been part of daily life for generations -- ripe cherries were traditionally chewed and exchanged as a mark of friendship long before they became an export crop. Most farms intercrop Robusta with banana and other food crops rather than growing it alone, and that lower-altitude, sun-grown tradition is exactly why the cup comes out full-bodied and low in acidity, built for the deep, everyday cup rather than a delicate one.

Cherry from Buganda Heritage is received at Masaka Collection Point, Kayunga Buying Station, where it is weighed, logged and paid for at the price below before moving on to hulling.
