Special Process Edition #4: Uganda - Funky Town Line Natural: Zombo Coffee

This coffee was prepared using the elaborate natural process in combination with African raised beds (see picture).
 
The Zombo Coffee Partners Funky Town Line is an excellent, fruity coffee with medium acidity and - as the name suggests - a lot of funkiness. It is characterised by a sweetness and complexity that can typically only be found in first-class natural coffees. Exotic flavours of nectarine, cola and passion fruit make this coffee a tropical experience!

Zombo Coffee Partners is a mixture of co-operative, milling company, NGO and exporter, which is mainly active in the Zombo region of Uganda. Zombo Coffee Partners focus on building close relationships with smallholder farmers throughout the West Nile region. Their guiding principles are to pay a fair price (well above Fairtrade price) to the farmers in order to provide them with a sustainable livelihood. Every year, they share all profits with the farmers and offer the farmer groups they work with shares in their company. The provision of process technology and know-how to the smallholder farmers has greatly improved and stabilised the quality of the green coffee over the last few years. This unique approach ensures that the farmers are involved in all decisions about the coffee they produce and ultimately benefit from the proceeds from the international sale of their coffee.
Living conditions in this neglected region of the world are gradually improving and farmers are able to invest in their children's education. In addition, more and more small farmers are gradually becoming certified organic (not yet finalised). By buying this coffee, you are supporting these endeavours!
