The Maliba Coffee Processing Station is located on the slopes of Mount Rwenzori in the Kasese region, near the border between Congo and Uganda. The Maliba area is characterized by soft volcanic soil. This region boasts mineral-rich soil surrounded by extensive forest vegetation and numerous water sources flowing from the mountains. The favorable natural environment enables two coffee growing seasons per year. Although the Kasese region is home to people from different ethnic groups, they all share a history and background in coffee cultivation.

The specialty coffee program at Maliba Coffee Processing Station began in 2017, initially experimenting with coffee plots from the Drugar area surrounding the processing station. This region was primarily known for producing inexpensive, low-quality natural process coffee. At the beginning of the specialty program, improvements focused on two key aspects: growing altitude and coffee cherry maturity. Only fully red coffee cherries grown at altitudes above 1,800 meters with sufficient maturity were selected for processing.

For post-processing, the refined natural method is employed. High-quality, cleaned coffee cherries are placed on raised African beds for drying for approximately 15 days. During this process, workers continuously and regularly turn the drying coffee by hand to ensure drying stability and consistency, as well as to prevent mold growth.

In addition to the specialty coffee project mentioned above, Maliba Processing Station is continuously improving its cultivation and processing standards. For example, it has recently obtained UTZ certification, and an organic cultivation system will be implemented in the next harvest season.
