The coffee comes in new environmentally friendly packaging.

Origin: Uganda, EAST UGANDA,

These coffees from Bulambuli have been produced in collaboration between Nordic Approach and Ibero, there long-time partners. For this project, Ibero recently built a brand new washing station in 2022. They pulp, ferment and dry the coffees they buy. They work with 200 - 400 farmers who deliver cherries to the Bulambuli Washing Station.

The area’s high altitudes are ideal for producing quality coffee, whereas the lower altitudes are used for drying purposes. At the drying yards, highly specialised professionals focus on ensuring an optimal, controlled drying process.

About the region

The varieties of this region are similar to Kenya, as farmers predominantly grow SL14, 28 and 34. The cherries come from smallholder communities, from farms that are less than 1 hectare each.

The farms are managed by family members and are located in parishes, or communities. Each parish acts as the administrative centre for 7-12 villages. These villages can be home to as few as 200 people. The farmers often work in groups, with an individual allocated as their leader.

Most of our Ugandan coffees come from different parishes. Occasionally, we may have a lot coming from a communal washing station. We work in high altitude areas, where there is a lot of potential for producing distinctive flavour profiles.

Harvest and post-harvest

In Eastern Uganda, the harvest is between August and January. In the lowlands, the harvest runs between August and October, while in the higher altitudes, it’s from September until January.

The cherries are either bought at small collection centres or delivered directly to the washing station. They are then sorted. Depending on the process, they are either taken to the pulping area or to the drying yard in Mbale. Sometimes, the cherries are delivered directly to the yard for sorting and drying.

Washed coffees are usually pulped, fermented, and dried on site.

Cup Profile: Easy drinker. Bright, herbal, and sweet. Very structured with notes of biscuit, stone fruit, red fruit, dried fruit sweetness.

The coffee is suitable for the preparation as an espresso

Diese Kaffees aus Bulambuli wurden in Zusammenarbeit zwischen Nordic Approach und Ibero, ihren langjährigen Partnern, produziert. Für dieses Projekt hat Ibero kürzlich eine brandneue Washing Station im Jahr 2022 gebaut. Die gekauften Kaffees werden zerkleinert, fermentiert und getrocknet. Sie arbeiten mit 200 bis 400 Bauern zusammen, die die Kirschen an die Bulambuli-Waschstation liefern.

Die hohen Lagen des Gebiets sind ideal für die Erzeugung von Qualitätskaffee, während die niedrigeren Lagen für die Trocknung genutzt werden. In den Trocknungsbetrieben sorgen hochspezialisierte Fachleute für einen optimalen, kontrollierten Trocknungsprozess.

Über die Region

Die Sorten in dieser Region ähneln denen in Kenia, wo die Bauern vor allem SL14, 28 und 34 anbauen. Die Kirschen stammen von Kleinbauerngemeinschaften, deren Betriebe jeweils weniger als 1 Hektar groß sind.

Die Betriebe werden von Familienmitgliedern geführt und befinden sich in Gemeinden. Jede Gemeinde dient als Verwaltungszentrum für 7-12 Dörfer. In diesen Dörfern können bis zu 200 Menschen leben. Die Bauern arbeiten oft in Gruppen, die von einer Person angeführt werden.

Geschmacksnoten: Hell, kräuterig und süß. Sehr strukturiert mit Noten von Biskuit, Steinobst, roten Früchten, Süße von Trockenfrüchten.

Der Kaffee eignet sich besonders für die Zubereitung als Espresso.
