Coffee

From red cherry to cup

Coffee is the heart of TEGOT. Every bean carries the red soil and patient hands of Gulu.

Robusta under shade trees, mulched and fed with farm compost.

Only ripe red cherries, picked by hand in several passes.

Sorted and processed at our coffee station the same day.

Sun-dried on raised beds and turned through the day.

Hulled, graded and roasted or sold as green beans.

In the rows

Shade, compost and patience

Our coffee grows among bananas and fruit trees, which keep the soil cool and the birds close.

We scout the rows every week and train our team and neighbours in pruning and soil care.

At the station

Cherries go from tree to drying bed within hours, so the flavour stays clean and sweet.
