Galileo coffee come from Uganda – the “Pearl of Africa”. The equatorial zone is gifted by nature with two rainy seasons in a year ensuring crop production year around and coffee is one of the most important cash crops contributing 15-20% of total export earnings and plays a major role in the livelihoods of many poor people.

 

Uganda’s washed Arabica coffee is grown at high altitude that ranges between 1’300-2’300 meters above sea level. Coupled with fertile, volcanic, deep sandy loam and rich in organic matter with a pH of 4.5 to 6, makes Uganda’s washed Arabica coffee unique with intrinsic quality characteristics: Dried Uganda Arabica (Drugar) has a rich and smooth body, fruity, floral, and chocolate flavor with berry finish whereas fully washed Uganda Arabica coffee has a rich and smooth body, fruity, floral, and chocolate flavor with lemon finish good for an African cup of coffee.

 

It is grown in the volcano soils in the highlands among shade trees such as bananas and cover crops like beans that result into sustainable coffee production and food security, while ensuring a social, economic and suitable environment that requires a Minimal or Totally No Use of Agro-Chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides.
