It is a spectacular mountainous region that stretches across the districts of Kabale, Kisoro, Kanungu, and Rukungiri, between the Virunga Massif and the hills surrounding Lakes Bunyonyi and Mutanda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this landscape, more than \u003cstrong\u003e300 small-scale farmers\u003c\/strong\u003e currently work alongside Mountain Harvest. The coffee trees in this lot grow between \u003cstrong\u003e2,000 and 2,200 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, an exceptional altitude that provides cooler temperatures and favors the gradual ripening of the cherries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMountain Harvest began developing its network in Kigezi in 2023. The project combines the work of local producers with agronomists and technical teams, seeking to improve coffee quality, processing, and the producing communities' access to the specialty market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMountain Harvest and the Kigezi producers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMountain Harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e works in Uganda to develop a specialty coffee chain based on quality, traceability, and collaboration with small-scale producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Kigezi, the project provides technical and agronomic support, financial training, pre-financing of production, investments in infrastructure, and assistance during coffee processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe station is managed by \u003cstrong\u003eNasser Mutesasira\u003c\/strong\u003e and is part of a new stage for coffee in southwestern Uganda, demonstrating the potential of these highlands to produce high-quality Arabicas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eYellow Honey Process\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ripe cherries received from the Kigezi producers are selected and \u003cstrong\u003edepulped while retaining part of the mucilage\u003c\/strong\u003e that surrounds the seed. They are then spread out on raised beds to begin a slow and controlled drying process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee remains there until it reaches approximately \u003cstrong\u003e11% humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is then moved to Mountain Harvest's climate-controlled warehouse, where it rests and stabilizes before continuing its journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honey process allows us to work between two worlds: preserving good fruit definition while developing \u003cstrong\u003esweetness, body, and an especially pleasant texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. In Pitta, that balance is expressed in the combination of chocolate, apricot, and black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNyasaland: a historical variety in Uganda\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePitta is made with \u003cstrong\u003eNyasaland\u003c\/strong\u003e, an Arabica variety with a long history in East Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts name is related to Nyasaland, the former name of Malawi. Plant material of this lineage arrived in Uganda at the beginning of the 20th century and found particularly favorable conditions for its cultivation in certain high-altitude regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a century later, Nyasaland remains part of the identity of some of the most interesting Arabica coffees in Uganda. In Kigezi, its cultivation above 2,000 meters allows for the exploration of an especially interesting expression of this variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePitta: the natural artisan that gives this coffee its name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach coffee in our new collection is accompanied by a bird linked to its origin and the nature that makes each harvest possible. For this Ugandan coffee, we have chosen the \u003cstrong\u003eAfrican Pitta (\u003cem\u003ePitta angolensis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the most striking yet most difficult birds to observe in African forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts plumage is a surprising combination of \u003cstrong\u003egreens, blues, warm tones, and reds\u003c\/strong\u003e, but much of its life is spent discreetly among the vegetation and leaf litter of the forest. In Uganda, populations of the African Pitta can be found during their movements within the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pitta does not typically feed on coffee cherries: it mainly looks for insects and other small invertebrates among the leaf litter. And that is precisely why we are interested in its story. \u003cstrong\u003eWe do not want to invent a relationship with coffee that does not exist; we want to talk about the ecosystem that surrounds it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a bird closely linked to the forest and the understory, and it is more common in well-preserved vegetation. For us, it represents that biodiversity that often remains invisible when we only observe the coffee fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat connects Pitta to this coffee?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe connection also appears in the cup. The Pitta seems to hide its extraordinary colors under the discretion of the forest; this coffee begins with a recognizable sensation of \u003cstrong\u003echocolate\u003c\/strong\u003e and, when we delve deeper into it, the color and liveliness of the \u003cstrong\u003eapricot\u003c\/strong\u003e and the elegance of the \u003cstrong\u003eblack tea\u003c\/strong\u003e emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe also find a parallel in the way of working. The Pitta moves slowly across the forest floor, observing and searching among the leaf litter. In Kigezi, the ripe cherries from hundreds of small producers are selected and processed carefully before drying on raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are not the same actions, but they share an idea that we especially like at Artisan: \u003cstrong\u003equality is born from observing, selecting, and respecting the rhythms of nature.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBirds, biodiversity, and coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBirds are much more than just the image of this collection. They are part of the ecosystems where coffee is produced, and their presence reminds us that a farm is not just a place of production: it is also a habitat shared by plants, insects, birds, and many other forms of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why we want each Artisan origin to have its own \u003cstrong\u003enatural artisan\u003c\/strong\u003e.
