Mountain Gorilla Coffee African Queen, 1 kg

A journey to find exceptional coffee from the mountains of Uganda

The first coffee we brought from Uganda to the Czech Republic. We discovered it on the slopes of the huge extinct volcano Mount Elgon, which lies on the border between Uganda and Kenya. We found it when, in the rainy season, we scrambled with our landrover up muddy paths turning into steep streams high into the mountains. At an altitude of about two kilometres, the cloudburst stopped. We jumped out of the car into the red mud and headed up the steep trails to visit farmers we had heard grew incredibly fine and fragrant coffee.
We buy African Queen coffee with a conscious responsibility to protect the environment. Direct contact with the farmers, whom we visit personally on their coffee plantations, is also essential. We know that only by buying directly from the growers can we get perfect quality. This also allows us to guarantee that the coffee we offer is not tainted by robbing farmers or slave child labour.
