Gorilla Highlands Coffee cultivates almost exclusively Arabica beans which are predominant in Eastern Africa. Arabica grows in areas between 1500 and 2,500 meters of altitude with appropriate conditions of temperature and humidity that only countries in the Equator belt present. All this makes Arabica coffee of exquisite texture and flavour. Definitely, a great combination of aroma, fragrance, and aftertaste that results in one of the most valued coffee bouquets.
We also offer a unique Highlands robusta coffee species which is endemic to the Kigezi region, a gift from the Gorilla Highlands Kingdom that is majestic, smooth and bold, just like the silverback’s that inhabit the region. With a limited season, this coffee will be available as micro-lots from the months of January – April.
Our coffee is usually grown in mixed farms with food crops for home consumption like beans, maize, and bananas that allows our farmers to sustain their local food security while obtaining extra income from coffee cultivation. It is mainly grown under shade trees that ensure sustainable coffee production.
