Farmers and Community:
Maliba is at 1600 masl in the foothills of the Rwenzoris, with many farmers living and growing coffee well above this height. Farmers typically have between 1 and 2 acres of land and coffee is their main cash crop.
Processing:
Ripe, red coffee cherries are harvested daily during the harvest season and taken to the buying centre. The cherries are weighed, assessed for quality and the farmers are paid in cash. From here trucks carry the cherries to the Coffee Station at Nyabirongo. This batch has undergone a period of anaerobic fermentation with the ripe cherries sealed in plastic sacks for 48 hrs. Following this the cherries were spread out to dry on raised beds in the traditional Natural process, with cherries being turned by hand on a regular basis.

As a rule of thumb, orders made after 8.30 am will be processed and dispatched the next working day. Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive an email. If there are any delays—which is possible when dealing with certain artisan coffee varieties and equipment—we'll notify you as soon as possible and maintain communication.
