About the Producer
Mountain Harvest was founded by Kenneth Barigye in 2017. Their aim is to reshape the way the world sees and tastes Ugandan coffee through a commitment to long-term economic and environmental sustainability for the producers they work with.
Part of Mountain Harvest's "Innovation" series, an experimental lot employing an anaerobic fermentation. Cherries with a board score of at least 80% (used for checking consistency of ripeness) and a BRIX reading of 17% (used for measuring concentration of sugars) are sealed in plastic barrels for 48 hours. After fermenting anaerobically, cherries are pulped, spread on racks to open dry for 3-5 days, and then solar dried for 25 days.
