Production Details

The coffee is grown by farmers in the Bulago and Lusha sub-districts. They practice mixed farming, integrating coffee with crops like onions, potatoes, and bananas. Livestock (goats, poultry, and cows) provide manure which, along with farm waste, is used as natural fertilizer.

Processing:
Cherries are hand-picked across 5–6 passes to ensure peak ripeness. Post-harvest, they are sorted by flotation, depulped, and fermented for 36 hours before being washed with clean water. The beans are dried on raised beds for 10–21 days, with specific care taken to shade them from direct midday sun.
