The Mogiana region, which runs along the São Paulo and Minas Gerais border, is home to some of the most consistently sweet and well-structured naturals produced in Brazil. The region boasts 3500 farmers cultivating a combined area of 202,000ha. We hand select lots from individual farms and process them to create a smooth, clean, highly consistent end product. Our goal with this coffee is to have a consistent profile from lot to lot, and year to year, making our Eagle Mogiana a coffee that you can rely on year-round.

Meet a producer: João Reis Junior, Estância Jr Farm, Jacuí: “I am part of a fantastic story, where it brings together all the ingredients of a dream come true, a profitable farm fulfilling its constitutional function of income distribution and social commitment coupled with environmental sustainability. It started with my great-grandfather and the social commitment, love, respect for the environment and quality in what we produce, will surely lead us to four more generations.”

History of Coffee in Uganda

 

Coffee has deep roots in Uganda, with robusta beans growing wild around Lake Victoria long before colonial times. While Ugandans traditionally used these beans for cultural rituals, commercial coffee farming only took off during British colonial rule in the early 20th century. The British saw potential in Uganda’s fertile soils and introduced Arabica coffee in the highlands, while promoting robusta across the country. After independence in 1962, coffee became Uganda’s leading export, despite disruptions during periods of political instability. A revival in the 1990s, driven by the Uganda Coffee Development Authority, transformed Uganda into one of Africa’s top coffee producers, renowned for its high-quality robusta and specialty Arabica beans.

Growing Coffee in Uganda

In Uganda, the most ideal conditions for Arabica coffee cultivation are found in the high-altitude regions of Mount Elgon in the east and the Rwenzori Mountains in the west. These areas, with elevations ranging from 1,300 to over 2,300 meters above sea level, provide the cool temperatures and rich volcanic soils that Arabica coffee thrives on. Uganda produces both washed and naturally processed coffees, and in recent years, experimental methods like honey processing have also gained traction. The country grows a variety of Arabica coffee strains, including SL14, SL28, and Blue Mountain, with specialty coffee grades ranging from AA, AB to Peaberry, known for their distinct flavors and high quality.
