Professional coffee knowledge exchange. For more coffee bean information, please follow Coffee Workshop (WeChat official account: cafe_style).
Uganda's coffee production ranks among the top in Africa, accounting for over 70% of its total exports. Meanwhile, Uganda is also the birthplace and main production region of Robusta coffee varieties. In the 1960s, Uganda's coffee production maintained an annual output of 3.5 million bags. By the mid-1980s, mainly due to political reasons, coffee production declined to 2.5 million bags annually. However, coffee production is now showing an upward trend, currently reaching approximately 3 million bags per year. The main exports go to the European Union, with countries like Sweden and Italy being its largest coffee buyers.
Uganda Coffee Classification System
The types and grades of Uganda coffee are confirmed by the Uganda Coffee Development Authority. Uganda's grading system is the same as Kenya's:
PB: peaberry
AA Plus-plus:
AA plus:
AA: Screen 17 and 18 (sieve: 17, 18 mesh = 7.2mm)
AB: screen 15 and 16 6.6 mm (sieve: 15, 16 mesh = 6.6 mm)
C:
E:
TT: Lightweight beans selected from AA and AB grades through airflow screening
Origin and Processing Details
Origin: Mt. Elgon Region, Uganda, Africa
Green Beans: Organic HB certified Hard Bean
Notes: The Bugidu tribe lives in the Elgon Mountain region and has become coffee-expert farmers. Due to the undisturbed natural environment, their production has received organic certification, which is quite special. Because the mountainous terrain is steep and there are barely any proper roads during the rainy season, transportation is difficult. However, the Bugidu tribe uses donkeys to transport green beans, solving this problem. India uses elephants to transport coffee beans. Therefore, every time we drink Ugandan coffee, we particularly feel the primitive passion for coffee.
