Uganda Mt. Elgon

Mt. Elgon Mt. Elgon is Uganda's primary Arabica zone, with elevations high enough to support both homestead-processed coffees and washing-station lots. A dozen or so exporter-owned stations line the mountain's western flank, and quality has steadily risen as investments in lot separation and farmer extension services take hold. Most growers here manage 20-200 trees, with coffee as their only access to a cash economy. While small quantities from each household can make consistency elusive, that variability often yields cups with distinctive character. Alongside the mid-80s lots defined by medium body and assertive citrus, we've also seen standouts scoring in the high 80s, with ripe stone fruit brightness and higher complexity profiles.
