Bakonzo - Uganda

The magnificent Rwenzori Mountains, famously known as the ‘Mountains of the Moon’, stretch for 120km along Western Uganda and are home to the Bakonzo tribe. Bakonzo farmers work manually, with the help of the whole family, and traditionnally group together to process the cherries.

Many coffee farmers live high up on the slopes of the Rwenzori mountain range , which culminates at more than 5,000 masl. The higher the coffee grows, the more slowly it matures and the more complex the cup profiles are.
