Day 1: Uganda – Advent Calendar Reveal

Welcome to Day 1 of The RISE coffee countdown calendar - let's dive in!

This coffee was carefully chosen by Ben and Alice after meeting farmers in this area of in Western Uganda in 2023.  Since that visit, we’ve set up The Friendly Coffee Fund which donates 1% of all our revenue to support the farmers in this region and their families.

Origin: Uganda

Location: Karambi, Rwenzori Mountains, Western Uganda

Altitude: 1,800-2,200+ meters above sea level

Bean: Arabica

Tasting notes: White chocolate, raspberry and plum 

Why Alice and Ben love it: This Ugandan specialty coffee is pretty special to us. We visited the Rwenzori Mountains in 2023 and launched our Friendly Coffee Fund which sees us give back 1% of sales to coffee growing farmers in this region. Our Fund is currently helping children of this area’s coffee farmers by sending them to school. We also support them with books, equipment and community education days - you can read more about our fund here. When we first tasted this coffee we fell in love! It is bold, smooth, delicious and unique. We recommend trying this one black, ideally as a filter coffee, enjoy!

Here’s a few pictures of us in the mountains with our friends at Agri Evolve (who help the farmers process and sell the coffee):
