This is a true Uganda coffee farm experience, rooted in real agricultural practice rather than staged demonstrations.
The experience culminates in a private coffee tasting session, where guests participate in roasting, grinding, and a guided cupping. You compare local consumption styles with export profiles, gaining insight into how Ugandan coffee expresses itself differently across markets.
This immersive day exemplifies sustainable coffee projects in Uganda, blending learning, leadership, and ethical travel in a refined yet deeply human setting.
