What the Brand Says
Country Uganda Region Kapchorwa, Mt. Elgon Producer Sylvia Achebet Altitude 1900-2400 masl Varieties SL14, SL28 Processing Washed Drying Raised Beds This is our second year purchasing coffee from Sylvia Achebet and Masha Coffee, via our friends at Crop to Cup Coffee Importers. Uganda is the first country that our sourcing partner Crop to Cup began working in back in 2007. Uganda is the self-proclaimed “pearl of Africa” and coffee has long been central to its economy. Uganda’s coffee production is largely Robusta from the central lowlands, while Arabica thrives on Mount Elgon (which is split on the border of Kenya and where this coffee is from) and Rwenzoris in the southwest of Uganda. Over decades as a community nurse, Sylvia and her now husband, Dr. Alfred, came to know the villages around them through vaccination drives and household care - and later turned that same commitment towards coffee. Sylvia founded Masha Coffee from her family farm in Kween District, high in the Mt. Elgon Reserve. Her goal with Masha was to give growers a platform to better sell their coffee, and in 2024 she was able to expand her reach by finishing work on a washing station in nearby Sipi Falls. We selected this coffee to highlight the traceability and elegance of Masha Kween’s coffee. This coffee is sweet, cola-like and has eclectic notes of black tea, cranberry and assorted citrus fruits.Country Uganda Region Kapchorwa, Mt.
