Uganda Zebigi is a specialty coffee that demonstrates the remarkable potential of the Bukyabo region. Grown by smallholder farmers united under the Coffee Gardens initiative, it is produced with a focus on quality, sustainability, and building direct relationships between farmers and roasters. This is a coffee that combines an excellent sensory profile with real support for the local community.

The Coffee Gardens project is built around the idea of transparent specialty coffee production. Farmers receive training in shade-grown coffee cultivation, sustainable agricultural practices, and the careful harvesting of fully ripe cherries. These practices allow for beans of exceptional quality and a clean flavor profile. The varieties grown here, Nyasaland, SL14, and SL28, are known for their high sensory potential, offering the complexity and elegance typical of the best African coffees.

ABOUT THE COFFEE

The fully washed process has been refined down to the smallest detail. Coffee cherries reach the processing station within a few hours of harvest. They then undergo depulping, initial washing, and a long, controlled fermentation in cool mountain spring water lasting around 40 hours. This slow and gentle process brings out maximum clarity in the cup and highlights the coffee’s natural fruit notes. Before export, the coffee is sorted through as many as 12 stages, ensuring the highest level of bean selection.

In the cup, Uganda Zebigi presents a harmonious and elegant profile. Notes of juicy apple and sweet grapes are clearly noticeable, followed by a subtle, creamy vanilla. The coffee has a bright yet pleasant acidity, a light to medium body, and a clean, lingering finish. It is an excellent choice for filter brewing methods such as drip, Chemex, or AeroPress, as well as for those looking for a lighter, fruit-forward espresso.

If you are looking for an African specialty coffee with a clean profile, vibrant fruit character, and transparent origin, Uganda Zebigi from the KAFAR roastery is a choice that combines exceptional flavor with the story of the people behind every bean.
