Uganda, Karambi

Region – Rwenzori

Community - Karambi

Processing Partner – Agri Evolve

In the lush foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda, smallholder farmers craft something truly special. Using the traditional Natural process, ripe coffee cherries are hand-harvested and sun-dried in the open mountain air before being hulled — a method that brings out bold fruit character and deep sweetness in every cup.

Big Dog Coffee partners with Agri Evolve, who source only the best local “Drugar” coffees (naturally processed Ugandan beans), paying farmers fairly and promptly. These coffees are then carefully cleaned and sorted at their modern Coffee Station to create Karambi — a coffee that celebrates the region’s hard work, community spirit, and vibrant flavour.

Named after the Karambi community at the southern end of the Rwenzoris, this coffee carries the story of reforestation, sustainable farming, and connection.

Expect a rounded, balanced cup with sweet notes of cherry, strawberry, and dark chocolate, lifted by a gentle acidity and smooth body. SCA score: 83.

Perfect as a single origin or as part of a blend when you want to add a hit of fruit-forward brightness and chocolatey depth
