From Kaffeelix:
 
"The Coffee Gardens was founded in 2017 with one goal: to create a transparent connection between coffee producers and coffee consumers. Improving income opportunities and living conditions for local people, creating job opportunities in rural areas, improving equality for women, transparency and traceability in the supply chain, environmental protection, training on good agricultural practices - the list of tasks that the team here faces every day is long.
 
Felix was able to see this for himself when he was on site with our importer Falcon in January 2024. And he did so with full physical effort; because he not only visited the washing station, where the coffee cherries are delivered and processed, but also followed the path of the coffee from the mountain slopes down to the valley.
 
Processing: The cherries are delivered to the washing station, sorted, depulped and soaked in cold water. The beans are then fermented for 40 hours and then washed before being laid out to dry on raised beds in the shade for 2-3 days. They are dried in the sun for a further 10 days until they have a moisture content of 15-25%, depending on the weather. The beans are then transported to Mbale, where they are laid out to dry again until a final moisture content of 11% is reached. "
