About this coffee
SIPI TANGWEN is a delightful natural coffee brought to you by our dear friends Zukuka Bora Coffee Co. We have lightly roasted this coffee to enhance its sweetness.
This lot is sourced from a small community of farmers in the Tangwen community, within the Sipi Falls microregion of Mount Elgon, Eastern Uganda. The purchase price of this coffee includes a dedicated premium used to fund social projects in the community.
The Zukuka Bora Coffee project was set up to support the people of Mt Elgon in many different ways. While coffee farmers are at the heart of the project, the profits from the project are also used to support their partner NGO: JENGA Community Development. JENGA have been working in the Mt Elgon area for almost 20 years, and had laid much of the groundwork for Zukuka Bora to build relationships with farmers and their communities. JENGA operate a range of projects - including education sponsorship, clean water schemes, savings groups, health promotion and training, and wider farming support.
The Sipi Falls microregion has long held a reputation for producing some of Uganda's best quality coffees. A combination of high altitudes and generational farming experience are contributing factors which have allowed Sipi coffees to build international recognition.
Taste notes: Strawberry milkshake, pineapple, milk chocolate
