UGANDA
MWEZI | NATURAL ARABICA
Our Uganda Mwezi Natural comes from the Rwenzori Mountain Range, where it was grown by several small-scale farmers, who are part of the Great Lakes Coffee Cherry Selection Program. The goal of this program, founded in 2017, is to pay higher prices to farmers instead of selling unripe, unpeeled cherries. In less than two, the program has began producing unique natural coffees. In the western region of Uganda, a total of 10,902 farmers belong to the program.
