Mananasi coffee from Uganda
It comes to you from an altitude of 1900 meters above sea level, in a fertile and ideal land for the growth of coffee cherries in Uganda, in Kinja Kayanza province in particular.
The Mananasi story begins when the Great Lakes Coffee team made a unique social experience that deserves to be told. They decided that the team would work hard to improve the quality of coffee from an area that was known to produce Arabica coffee of low quality and cheap compared to its counterparts from Uganda and they worked for that By developing a special program for farmer training, whereby the trained team promotes the formation of farmers with a leadership role in the community and provides intensive and in-depth training courses in agricultural engineering, and methods of processing and harvesting, after which 35 members of small farmers are assigned to each leading farmer, these groups are evaluated Through the financial reward per unit, the higher the quality of the coffee, the higher the wages of the working group. The leading farmer gets an additional bonus for the double training he provides to his colleagues as an incentive and a guarantee of the knowledge he transfers to them efficiently during the training.
cherry red program
It is the next stage for the quality improvement that is going on gradually over recent years.
This program mainly focuses on quality first and foremost by instructing farmers to pick only ripe cherries. Next, the coffee is dried on raised beds, and after the coffee is completely dried, it is sent to the processing plant to remove all possible defects in the coffee in order to ensure a clean and pure cup of coffee.
