Their 2023 B Corp certification reflects a genuine dedication to ethical trade, environmental care, and the people who make Rwenzori coffee so special.
Process & Varietal
SL14 and SL28 are renowned Arabica varieties known for their exceptional cup quality and resilience. Originally developed in Kenya, they thrive in the high altitudes and rich volcanic soils of the Rwenzori Mountains, producing coffees with vibrant acidity, complex sweetness, and distinct fruit notes. Agri Evolve distributes these varieties to local farmers to replace older, less productive trees—helping improve yields, disease resistance, and overall cup consistency.
For their natural coffees, Agri Evolve carefully selects ripe cherries at peak ripeness before drying them slowly on raised beds under controlled conditions in Kasese. The cherries are regularly turned to ensure even drying, allowing the fruit’s sugars to infuse the bean and develop deep, jammy sweetness with a rich, full-bodied profile. This meticulous process highlights the best of Rwenzori’s terroir—bold, fruity, and beautifully balanced.
