Lifeboost Africa

Uganda is more earth forward. Think cooked sweet potatoes, pumpkin, or yams. The body is richer and there is less clarity in flavor (meaning the flavors are less light). Low in acidity as well, consider raisins or prunes as top end notes but otherwise very round and sweet. Enjoy coffee guilt-free knowing you’re drinking healthy, pure, delicious coffee. Lifeboost Coffee meets the strictest standards for quality including: USDA Certified Organic, single-origin, shade-grown, low-acid, sun-dried, high-elevation grown. Savor the delicious, healthy, specialty bean coffee grown on a mountain in Central Africa. After trying Lifeboost Coffee, we know you’ll never go back to regular coffee again! Located near the Eastern Border of Uganda and within the foothills of Mt Elgon, Kawacom Washing Station is the main washing station and collection point for the nearly 2,000 small shareholder farmers in the area. With the average farm size of only 0.2 hectares, these farmers often only grow what little they can for their own consumption. A partnership here means coffee for Lifeboost will be the achievement of an entire community, and therefore is able to have its impact reach just as broadly. Freshly picked coffee is brought to the washing station each day during the peak of harvest. Participating members are paid directly at that time of delivery. This provides funds faster and allows for the quality of the washing to be controlled by a single team in a central location. On the other side of Mt Elgon is Uganda’s neighbor, Kenya. Famous for its coffee across the globe with many flocking to participate in its thriving coffee industry. Despite sharing the same climate, landscape, and same wild growing coffee varieties, Uganda is rarely considered all because of a man made line and the impact that has on commerce and opportunity. We are Lifeboost in name, and also in mission. We once again choose to work to provide both incredible coffee and opportunity, and we are incredibly grateful to our customers who have helped us get here and are excited to introduce you to the next step towards Lifeboost’s future: Lifeboost Africa!
