Why Uganda Matters
Zebigi isn’t just another specialty coffee. It’s part of a bigger story that we’ve poured a piece of ourselves into. A year ago, we had the chance to be right there in Uganda – to meet the farmers who grow the coffee, to see the process from harvest to drying. And that’s when we realized we wanted to do even more.
Together with The Coffee Gardens, we co-financed the opening of a QC Lab in Uganda. This quality control laboratory enables farmers to evaluate their harvest directly on site, refine their practices, and, as a result, achieve fairer prices.
Every cup of Zebigi is not only about flavor, but also about the future. About giving farmers the tools and knowledge that open doors to better conditions and stability. And that’s exactly why we love returning to Uganda.🤎
Farm and station story
TCG – Zebigi coffee comes from the Mt Elgon region in eastern Uganda, an area known for its rich volcanic soils and ideal conditions for growing specialty Arabica. The farms are located at altitudes between 1 800 and 2 200 m a.s.l., where cooler temperatures and rich biodiversity contribute to slower cherry ripening and more intense flavour development.
Processing
This coffee undergoes a process known as dry fermentation, where the depulped coffee is fermented without the addition of water. This method enhances the sweetness and complexity of the cup while preserving bright acidity and a rich texture.
Variety
This lot combines three notable Arabica varieties. SL14 is a traditional Ugandan variety valued for its gentle citrus notes and light tea-like body, while being disease-resistant for consistent quality. SL28, originally from Kenya, is renowned for its intense fruitiness, sweetness, and blackcurrant notes, making it one of the most sought-after varieties in the specialty coffee world. Nyasaland is a historic variety from Malawi, offering delicate floral and tea-like notes complemented by a light citrus sweetness.
We work with several couriers worldwide, the table HERE specify the conditions for each country.
