About the farmer(s)

Sipi Falls Organic - SL28 - SL14 [natural] — Uganda

The Sipi Falls Washing Station is a proect developed by Kawacom to improve the quality of coffee produced by small-holder farmers on the slopes of Mt. Elgon. The washing station was built in 2012 & processes the coffee of around 14 thousand farmers. The project also involves training farmers in growing, harvesting & processing coffee. This lot was processed naturally. After harvesting, coffee cherries are delivered to the washing station where they’re washed, sorted for under/over-ripe fruit & defects. The cherries are then spread out to dry on raised beds for 14-21 days. The dried cherry is then removed mechanically.
