High in the hills of Mount Elgon, a coffee-farming community works in near isolation, transporting each sack of coffee on foot or by bike along rugged roads. Where other exporters saw impossibility, Mountain Harvest saw potential: farmers willing to try new things and invest in their future. With support from a Counter Culture Seeds grant, they built a community-run processing station that has given rise to one of the best coffees we’ve tasted in the country, Mabono Honey. Expect notes of berry, brown sugar, and a creamy body. Pronunciation: mah-BOH-noh
