THE COFFEE GARDENS:
The Coffee Gardens were established in 2017 with the goal of producing incredible specialty coffee in an ethical way, offering a transparent and direct link between coffee farmers and coffee consumers. This coffee is comprised of the produce from many small farmers and is known as a micro lot. This coffee was created by combining day-lots (coffee processed on the same day) with similar taste profiles from many small farmers. Therefore, a single farmer may contribute to multiple micro-lots.
The Coffee Gardens have been working with the farmers who produced this micro-lot for the past seven years. They know each and every farming family as they live on the mountain about 600 metres above their washing station. This decaf lot is named after the villages of Gombe and Zebigi, where many of the farmers live. Last year the farmers received training on growing coffee amongst shade trees, good agricultural practices, and of course, better harvesting techniques. In July last year The Coffee Gardens distributed over 8,300 shade, fruit and fast growing tree seedlings. This year, training is continuing and construction of toilet blocks for the three primary schools in the area, including Zebugu-Busi Primary School is underway.
Farmers have coffee gardens of different sizes and so supply different amounts of coffee. Mr Zesiro Micheal from Gombe was one of the biggest contributors to this micro-lot with 967 KG of red ripe coffee cherries, and Mr Woniala Moses from Zebigi contributed 349 KG of red ripe coffee cherries. Within hours of being picked, coffee cherries are carried down to the station in 50 kg bags by “runners” - a team of over 160 women and men employed from the local community. This coffee is pulped before undergoing fermentation involving a pre-wash, a long soak in cold mountain spring water, and then a gentle long fermentation lasting forty hours before a final wash. This coffee is meticulously sorted at 12 different stages before export.
