Uganda - Fresh Roasted Fairtrade Coffee

Bukonzo Joint Cooperative in Kyarmba, based on the foothills of the picturesque Rwenzori Mountain in Western Uganda. The co-op has close to 5000 farmers under organic certification, of which 85% are women. The cooperative’s efforts for gender equality were recognised by the SCAA Sustainability Award in 2015.

The farmers benefit from a unique ownership model, which also incentives them to strive for higher quality. The result of their hard, manual work translates into the coffee's quality with clean, sweet and balanced cup profiles. A broad range of flavours is buzzing with distinct citric acidity. 

Sendero, meaning "path" in Spanish represents the brand's exploration of remote and relatively unknown coffee-growing regions.

They work with local families and cooperatives directly sourcing the most outstanding Arabica coffee beans. In doing so, they ensure the best prices are paid to farmers. Plus, financial bonuses ensure that farmers can maintain the highest, sustainable standards in farming practices. No chemicals or pesticides are ever used.

The team rigorously select the 100% Arabica coffees to find beans that best represent the individuality of regions such as Uganda, as well as the passion of the farmers they work with.

The beans are handpicked and roasted in small batches for an exquisite taste and aroma in every cup.
