FROM FARM TO CUP

These coffee beans were grown by the Miale Tubana Mixed Farmers cooperative in Bugiso, Uganda.

The collective has always used extensive methods such as intercropping and uses only animal and plant based fertilizers and pesticides. Small amounts of coffee are grown in the fertile gardens with local fruits, vegetables, tubers and many other local species. This variety of plants together with the large African shade trees nourish the soil structure and protect it from the strong tropical sun.

Roasting the beans

In Berlin, we carefully roast our beans on a Probat 12 Roasting Machine. This equipment, renowned for its precise manual control and adjustable air control, can handle up to 12 kg batches. We adapt each roast to the beans and the climate, ensuring a flawless brew every time. Our roasting process is both an art and a science – sign up for our newsletter for an exclusive look into our roastery!

FEATURES

Where does the coffee come from?

The coffee comes from the 40 farmers of the Miale Tubana Mixed Farmers Collective on Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. The country is located in East Africa and borders South Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, in Lake Victoria, Rwanda to the southwest and Congo to the west. Uganda is considered one of the coffee origin countries and has tropical temperatures. Sortengold is on a mission to make remote small-scale and special cultures accessible to everyone. Our Uganda coffee was sourced, exported and imported by Lorenz of Sortengold. He met the farmers in 2020 and has been able to visit several times since then.

What is Slow Food?

The producers of our Ugandan coffee are part of the worldwide Slow Food movement. Slow Food promotes regional biodiversity, extensive agriculture and traditional food crafts. Organized as Slow Food Presidio, the producers of this coffee are dedicated to preserving the endangered Nyasaland coffee variety and extensive and organic farming practices. Since 2015, the farmers have been regularly visited by the Slow Food organization, various agronomists, botanists and coffee roasters. Since 2021, the farmers have been part of the Slow Food Coffee Coalition, in which they have agreed to share their values with other like-minded coffee cooperatives from the region, to develop further and to exchange knowledge and ideas during mutual visits.
