sweet and creamy with notes of strawberry, blueberry, prune, red apple acidity and pleasant raisin finish
StratoBerry is a coffee grown on Mount Elgon in East Uganda at 2300 m.a.s.l by several smallholder farmers, notably from Buzemunwa village in the Gamoga region. They personally deliver their cherries to various collection stations on the mountain.
Lead farmer Alex and sourcing maestro Normann orchestrate operations at the Sironko Coffee Yard, the epicenter of processing and washing. Grown in volcanic soils, this blend of Catimor, SL.14, and SL.28 varieties captures its origins with vibrant floral and tutti-fruity notes, flourishing in the climatic diversity of the forested zone.
The process of this coffee is natural, which includes meticulous cherry collection, layered drying for an extended period, and shielded fermentation in large plastic drums for 12-24 hours.
Uganda’s coffee production thrives on climate-smart practices, promoting minimal environmental impact and heightened climate resilience. Smallholder coffee producers, such as those in the village of Buzemunwa, contribute to this sustainable ethos across Mount Elgon’s slopes.
