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. The Workhorse (as it came to be known by the Mountain Harvest team) perfectly represents the terroir of Mt Elgon, celebrating the farmers that reside here and what's possible when you challenge the status quo. As the name suggests, this lot is built to be a dependable backbone with producers being paid 30% above the market price for processed parchment.

Mountain Harvest source for this lot from 9 communities on the mountain that pass their strict quality analysis. As is tradition in Uganda, farmers process their own coffee through the washed process at their farms and then sell it as parchment. Mountain Harvest then dry the parchment further in their temperature-controlled warehouse before sorting it by size (this lot is screen size 16 and above).
