From Garden to Cup

Where Coffee is sourced

Afroma Coffee is sourced from women coffee farmers on Uganda’s Mountain Elgon slopes. They cultivate Arabica Coffee at 1,700 – 2,300-meters altitude, on decayed volcanic soils and without artificial additives. The most grown variety is Nyasaland, SL 14 and SL 28.

Coffee growing

Coffee planting is carried out manually with a hoe to ensure attention to detail. Coffee farm labor is only provided by adults and farmers very keen on prioritizing   environmental sustainability.  A lot of attention is given to quality control measures during the planting and growing of Coffee in order to ensure Specialty-grade Coffee known for its distinct flavor profiles, nuanced acidity, and rich aromas.

Harvesting

During Harvesting, Coffee is strictly harvested by selective handpicking. Only red ripe cherries are harvested to ensure a high-quality production.

Primary processing

After harvesting, the cherries are floated in buckets and drums using clean natural water from local streams to separate any defective or unripe beans. The cherries are then pulped to remove the outer skin and pulp. The Coffee is then fermented for approximately 48 hours to break down the mucilage. The Coffee is then washed with clean natural steam water to remove any remaining pulp and mucilage. The Coffee is then dried on raised beds to a moisture content of 12.5 % ensuring optimal quality and flavor preservation.  

Storing

The harvested coffee is packed in gurney bags and stored on wood pallets inside farmers’ home stores.

Our Partner Stephen a Specialty Coffee production expert works closely with the women farmers during the coffee growing, harvesting, storage and drying in order to ensure specialty-grade Coffee production.

Secondary Processing

Dried Coffee is collected from women farmers and delivered to Ubora Specialty Crops for hulling and grading. After hulling and grading a team of factory women workers carry out selective handpicking of defective green coffee beans from the processed green coffee beans to ensure only top-quality pass for roasting.

Afroma House Coffee’s Quality and Origin

Afroma House Coffee is renowned internationally for its superior quality.

The Company’s coffee is grown naturally without the use of artificial additives.

The Arabica coffee produced by the company is cultivated on ancient volcanic soil, specifically from decayed lava that has been present for over a thousand years on the slopes of Mountain Elgon. This unique geological feature significantly contributes to the coffee’s distinct flavor profile and remarkable aroma.

In addition to Arabica, Afroma also produces Robusta coffee, which is grown in the Nile Valley, one of the most fertile regions in the world. The robust flavor of this coffee variety is influenced by the diverse types of silt deposited by various water bodies flowing into the Nile Valley, enhancing its unique taste.

Afroma House Coffee Quality Certification and Ethical Practices

Afroma House Coffee’s quality is validated by the Uganda National Bureau of Standards. The company sources its coffee exclusively from farmers who prioritize environmental sustainability in their production methods. Additionally, Afroma House Coffee has a robust policy that prohibits the use of child labor in its coffee production processes
