Ugandan Gold Premium™

Ugandan Gold Premium™ coffee is grown on the rolling banks of the Wambabya River in the heart of Africa.

Just smelling the beans is worth the price! Brewing fills the environs with a tempting aroma…only a harbinger of delights yet to come. Ahhh! This is real pure coffee, delightfully different with a full body, stimulating flavor and a great finish with a tropical hint. Watch out, Blue Mountain!

Ugandan Gold Premium™ is Organic: The project uses all natural pest control, cow manure, and fish meal.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ plantation comprises virgin plants: All plants were new in 2000; there is programmed expansion through 2015.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ beans are hand picked, one cherry at a time, not strip harvested. Stripping is used in most plantations where the picker grasps the branch between forefinger and thumb and strips off all the cherries, including under-ripe and over-ripe. This compromises the quality of the coffee as no amount of sorting and processing will correct the problem. Our pickers pick only cherries that are ready for picking. That's why the size and quality of the bean is so consistently high.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ coffee is shade grown: Fast growing shade trees are planted along with the coffee. Ugandan coffee thrives with an optimum level of shade from the equatorial sun with a significant quality improvement as a result. Trees also provide habitat for the countless species of birds in Uganda.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ coffee is sun dried: Most coffee today is processed wet. That means the outer hull, which you never see, has been removed by immersing the cherry in water and wet milling the hull to a pulp to release the green bean. The result is a huge amount of effluent which pollutes the rivers and streams of these beautiful coffee growing areas. Sun drying takes longer and is more labor-intensive but it results in the hull drying and splitting which allows it to be removed by dry percussion. The dry hull is also a valuable fertilizer so it is recycled 100%.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ coffee is naturally pollinated: Since African coffee is improved in yield and quality by pollination, every acre of the Wambabya plantation has a fully operational beehive.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ coffee is available in ground or whole bean I-pound packages.

Ugandan Gold Premium™ coffee comes five ways - ground in Regular Roast, Hazelnut, French Vanilla, and Regular Roast Decaf, and whole bean in Regular Roast.
