Investing in African Coffee

Last month, Nespresso introduced AMAHA awe UGANDA, ‘Hope of Uganda’, a new and seasonal coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda. Launched in 2019, the Reviving Origins program aims to restore coffee production in regions where it is under threat. In Uganda, climate change, poor farming practices, and economic hardship has meant that the production of high-quality coffee has been a challenge over recent years. As part of the Reviving Origins program and in partnership with Agri Evolve, a young agribusiness dedicated to improving farmer productivity, Nespresso is working with more than 2,000 farmers, providing training and expertise to enhance the quality of coffee and productivity in addition to establishing sustainable farming practices. ‘Hope of Uganda’ in Lhukonzo, a local language in Uganda, is a single-origin coffee that carries rare sandalwood notes and elegant florals with medium acidity and body. An intensity eight espresso, AMAHA awe UGANDA grows in a unique terroir, where shade and nutrients provided by banana trees create a true Arabica dreamland. In a Latte Macchiato, the biscuit and discrete fruity notes come alive in a balanced and sweet cup. Available at Nespresso branches nationwide, and online at www.za.buynespresso.com.
