Omuhwera

Omuhwera, meaning “abundant” or “plentiful,” is a standout coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda, famously known as the “Mountains of the Moon.” Nestled between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this region’s fertile volcanic soils, cool temperatures, and consistent rainfall provide the ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality Arabica coffee.

Grown by smallholder farmers on family plots averaging 1–2 hectares, Omuhwera is handpicked with care, ensuring only the ripest cherries make the cut. These cherries are floated, sorted, and then dried on raised beds at Kirugu Station to preserve their exceptional flavor profile.

This vibrant cup opens with notes of yellow banana and custard apple, followed by the refreshing brightness of ripe starfruit. As it develops, the sweetness of banana and custard apple is beautifully complemented by the indulgent touch of Cadbury chocolate and the subtle nuttiness of macadamia nuts. The result is a harmonious, well-balanced cup, showcasing the abundant flavors of the Rwenzori Mountains.

Omuhwera is a celebration of abundance and flavor, reflecting the richness of its environment and the expertise of its farmers in every sip.
