Ibanda, Uganda

Sweet and rich

The Profile

Agri Evolve have once again delivered an exceptional Ugandan natural coffee. Bursting with vibrant orange acidity and luscious toffee sweetness, it features a subtle boozy hint reminiscent of Kirsch, layered with delicate notes of cherry.

Creamy milk chocolate and toffee notes further enhance its flavours, while its full-bodied profile and rich, jammy mouthfeel stay true to the hallmark of Ugandan coffee.

Whether enjoyed as an espresso or long black, this coffee truly shines, with the orange and Kirsch notes adding a touch of festive charm. For those who prefer milk, it transforms beautifully into a flat white, with the toffee notes creating a rich and indulgent experience.

The Farmers

Ibanda, a village nestled in the northern part of Kasese District, lies within one of the many valleys at the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains. Agri Evolve has established a buying center here to support the farmers of Ibanda and neighboring hillside communities.

Most farmers in the area own between one and two acres of land, with coffee serving as their primary cash crop. Agri Evolve's Field Officers collaborate with farmer groups across the region, introducing good agricultural practices to enhance yields. During the harvest season, ripe, red coffee cherries are handpicked daily and brought to the Ibanda centre.

At the buying centre the cherries are weighed, evaluated for quality, and farmers are promptly paid in cash. The cherries are then transported to the Nyabirongo coffee station, where they are floated, graded, and sun-dried. To ensure even drying and optimal flavour development, the cherries are turned several times each day, allowing them to mature and achieve their rich, full-bodied taste.
