| Uganda |
| Uganda, situated in the Great Lakes Region of central Africa at the headwaters of the Nile, is the original home of coffea canephora,
or Robusta. |
| |
|
|
 |
| The main part of Uganda
coffee production continues to be
dry-processed Robusta used in instant coffees
and as cheap fillers in blends. Uganda also
produces excellent wet-processed Arabica, all
of which are virtually grown by villagers on
small plots. |
| |
Coffee marketed as Wugar is grown on mountains bordering Zaire along Uganda’s western border. More admired is Bugisu or Bugishu, from the western slopes of Mt.Elgon on the Kenyan border.
Bugisu displays the winey acidity and other characteristics of the best East African coffees, but is less admired than the finest Kenya or Zimbabwe, owing to generally lighter body and less complex flavor. |
