Description
WE BUY THIS COFFEE DIRECTLY FROM AGRI EVOLVE – a profit for purpose working with farmers across the Rwenzori region of Uganda to improve overall coffee quality and farmer income.
Founded in 2016, Agri Evolve was the result of an observation of the local coffee market: farmers had the coffee, but lacked basic harvesting and processing facilities. On top of this, traders in the area only payed low, cash-in-hand prices, leaving producers unable to improve their own product.
Agri Evolve emerged as an alternative practise, establishing itself as a place to sell unprocessed cherries for a fair market price. Not only that, but the funds made from exportation were funnelled back into programs focusing on training, education, facilities, and equipment all for the farmers to use to increase their yield and profits.
Around 300-500 smallholders contribute to each lot of Agri Evolve’s coffee. The average farm size of these small holders is about 1.5-2.2 acres.

WE ROAST ALL OF OUR BEANS WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SHOWCASING THEIR WONDERFUL ORGANIC FLAVOURS WHICH IS USUALLY SOMEWHERE AROUND A “MEDIUM ROAST”, HOWEVER THE BEANS ARE PULLED FROM THE ROASTER BASED ON MANY DIFFERENT FACTORS, MAINLY ON SMELL / THE OLFACTORY SYSTEM
SOME COFFEES WE MIGHT BE WAITING FOR A BISCUITY SMELL, FOR SOME, A JAMMY FRUITY AROMA, BUT THEY ALL HAVE A PARTICULAR SMELL WHEN THEY PEAK, WHICH USUALLY RELATES DIRECTLY TO THE OPTIMUM BALANCE OF FLAVOUR, SWEETNESS AND BODY IN THE CUP
