Single Origin Ugandan Coffee Beans

Uganda is famous for being one of the friendliest countries to visit in Africa.

They also grow great coffee, but you must be careful when selecting Ugandan single-origin coffees.

Many Ugandan coffees are commodity grade, often used as a cheaper filler for lower-grade supermarket coffee. 

Here, you can buy our single-origin Ugandan coffee beans, the Ugandan Bugusi. 

We roast these to a medium level, and you can choose either whole coffee beans or have them freshly ground.

For ground coffees, please select the desired grind type before you add the product to your shopping cart.

We always use freshly roasted coffee beans on our industrial-calibrated grinders to suit your desired brew method.

Rest assured that the grinding process occurs just moments before the order has been prepared and packed for shipping. There is no fresher way.

We do not store or hold any ground coffees; that same rule applies to our entire product range.

If you want the absolute best coffee experience, only whole bean coffees can hold the freshness for extended periods, whereas ground coffee stales rapidly.

While beans stay fresh longer, the coffee will taste better.

It's important to know that ground coffees continue to stale rapidly when the beans are ground, even inside unopened, sealed packaging.

While it may surprise many people who believe packaging keeps roasted coffees fresh, ground coffees continue to stale faster inside unopened, sealed bags than whole beans.

About Uganda Coffees.

African coffees are unique, and Ugandan coffees are no exception.

Whilst some Uganda coffees are classified or graded as lower quality commercial, there are some fantastic lots to enjoy.

As with all coffee-growing origins, great coffees are available when you go hunting for them. 

Generally speaking, Uganda coffees offer a relatively low-to-medium acid level (please bear in mind that all coffees have acids, so we are not claiming that Uganda coffees are low acid). 

What we love most about quality Uganda coffees is their thick, full mouthfeel and rounded taste, which are suitable for espresso coffee drinkers.

You will appreciate the bold, rich, complex taste with earthy flavours if you like your black coffee.

Bugisu is a region in eastern Uganda where coffee is grown at moderately high elevations (1,300 to 2,600 meters) on the slopes of Mount Elgon.

It is a lovely area, and tourists also visit there for the hiking opportunities.

You must catch the coffee grown or dried in the area, and the community benefits from the industry.

Coffees grown at altitude develop into a hard bean well suited for darker roasting.

Our Ugandan Bugisu generates much more body than most other East African coffees.

Uganda is the 7th largest coffee producer in the world, which is impressive for such a small country.

Most Ugandan coffees are grown on small farms by women responsible for developing coffee.

In many cases, this coffee provides a family's only source of cash.

Over 60% of Uganda's foreign exchange comes from coffee, and more than 30% of the country's population is involved with coffee in some way.

UPDATE:

Uganda is currently out of stock.

At this time, there are no plans to re-stock.

Coffee prices are too high.
