La description
Most coffee grown in Uganda (*0%) is of the varietal varietal
Robusta (Coffea canephora var. robusta), with the other *0%
comprising Arabica varietals Typica, SL *4, SL *8 and Kent. Also
grown in Uganda is the Arabica cultivar Bugishu / Bugisu (Coffea
arabica var. bugishu), which is grown near Sipi Falls on the
western slopes of Mt. Elgon, one of Ugandas largest mountains.

Generally, the coffee growing regions are divided into:
West Nile (Okoro bordering on Democratic Republic of Congo and
Sudan in the North West)
Northern Region (Lira, Gulu)
Eastern (Mbale, Bugisu bordering on Kenya)
Central & Southwest (Jinja, Mukono, Kampala, Masaka by Lake
Victoria)
Western Region (Kasese, Mbarara also bordering Democratic Republic
of Congo)
The western regions produce much of the coffees Arabicas, which
grow well in the higher elevations including Mount Rwenzori (which
actually gets snow at its peaks). These are naturally processed
(drugars).
UGANDA COFFEE TASTING NOTES
A good brewed cup of Bugisu (or Bugishu) coffee exhibits cupping
notes similar to the desirably winey acidity of a fine East African
coffee, with sweet chocolate flavor and rich texture. Generally
speaking, the lower complexity and lighter lighter body of Ugandan
coffees makes them generally less distinguished than the finer
coffees of neighboring Zimbabwe, Tanzania, or Kenya.
The Robustas from the Lake Victoria basin are well suited to the
clay-rich soils, and benefit from some high elevations in the
region. Theyre able to develop higher acidity than lower-altitude
grown Robustas, making them a decent cup.
UGANDA BUGISHU COFFEE BEANS
This Coffea arabica coffee plant varietal (Coffea arabica var.
bugishu) is grown in northeast Uganda near Sipi Falls. Bugishu
coffee is distinguished by its clean flavor and distinctive aroma.
Some of the best Bugishu (or Bugisu) grows on Ugandas Mt.
Elgon.
A good brewed cup of Bugishu coffee exhibits the desirably winey
acidity of a fine East African coffee.Â
GREEN COFFEE GROWING
The harvest season for Arabica green coffees is October through
February, and all year for the Robusta crop (peaking in November
through February). After harvesting, the coffees are either natural
washed (known locally as wugars) or naturally processed (known
locally as drugars).
Interestingly, wild Robusta coffee trees can be found in Uganda due
to their suitability to the climate. Theoretically indigenous to
Uganda, Robusta is the largest exported coffee varietal in Uganda,
which boasts the second largest export volume of the varietal in
the world.
Ugandan coffees are graded either A (*5/*6 screen equal to
Colombian Exelso size) or AA (*7/*8 screen equal to Colombian
Supremo size).
