OMNI | UGANDA | MANANASI | PINEAPPLE & CHOCOLATE (250g)

We had an enjoyable and unforgettable experience with this special crop, which has become an icon of the Sowell Roastery!

 This crop comes to you from an altitude of up to 1900 meters above sea level, in fertile and ideal land for the growth of coffee cherries  in Uganda, specifically in the Kinja Kyanza province.

The story of Mananasi begins when the Great Lakes Coffee team conducted a unique social experiment worth telling. The team decided to improve the quality of coffee by working from an area known for producing low-quality Arabica coffee at a low price compared to other areas of Uganda. The team sought to develop a special farmer training program. The training team would  create a farmer with a leading role in the community and provide intensive and in-depth training courses in agricultural engineering, processing methods, and harvesting. Then, 35 small farmers would be assigned to each leading farmer. These small groups would be rewarded with a financial reward according to the unit. The higher the quality of the coffee, the higher the wage of the working group. The leading farmer would receive an additional reward for the double training he provides to his colleagues as an incentive and a guarantee of the knowledge that he efficiently transfers to them during the training.

Red Cherry program

It is the next stage of the quality improvement that has been gradually taking place over recent years.

This program focuses primarily on quality first and foremost; by instructing farmers to pick only ripe cherries, then drying the coffee on raised beds, and after the coffee is completely dry, it is sent to the processing station to remove all possible defects in the coffee; to ensure the delivery of a clean and clear cup of coffee.
