Coffee Products, Tours and Workshops in Sipi, Uganda
Coffee production involves much more than growing and harvesting coffee cherries. There is a whole process behind every cup, and sharing that knowledge is an important part of what Joel does on his farm near Sipi Falls.
Alongside growing and preparing coffee, Joel enjoys educating visitors, students, farmers and anyone interested in learning more about coffee. Whether you want to experience a coffee farm tour, take part in practical training or explore opportunities in coffee production, there are different ways to get involved.
The farm also offers a selection of coffee products, with opportunities to discuss specific coffee requirements and potential business cooperation directly with Joel.
Our Coffee Products
Roasted Coffee Beans
Enjoy coffee grown on the slopes of Mount Elgon. Our roasted whole beans are available in different processing styles, allowing you to explore how the way coffee is prepared after harvesting influences its aroma and flavour.
Ground Coffee
For those who prefer ready-to-brew coffee, we also offer ground coffee from our farm. It provides an easy way to enjoy Ugandan Arabica coffee at home.
Cascara – Coffee Cherry Tea
Cascara is made from the dried fruit surrounding the coffee bean. Instead of going to waste during processing, the coffee cherry can be used to prepare a distinctive tea. It offers another way to discover the different uses of the coffee harvest.
Green Coffee Beans
We offer green Arabica coffee beans from our farm, including washed, natural and honey-processed coffee. For roasters and buyers looking for more specific characteristics, individual requirements and micro-lot possibilities can be discussed directly with Joel.
Our Coffee Experiences and Services
Whether you want to discover coffee production during a visit to Sipi, gain practical experience or develop your knowledge for professional purposes, Joel offers different ways to learn directly on the farm.
Coffee Farm Tours
Discover how coffee makes its journey from the plant to your cup. During a guided tour of the farm, Joel introduces you to coffee cultivation, harvesting and processing.
You will see the different stages of coffee production and get hands-on experience with traditional coffee preparation, including roasting, grinding and brewing. The tour takes approximately two hours and finishes with a freshly prepared cup of coffee.
Coffee Processing Method Training
For individuals, partners and farmers who want to deepen their knowledge of coffee processing, Joel offers dedicated training programmes.
The training combines theoretical lessons with practical sessions on the farm. Participants learn about different processing methods and how the various stages of processing influence the characteristics of the finished coffee.
Two programmes are available:
-
- One-week training
- Two-week training
Starting a Coffee Business
Are you interested in starting a coffee business and want to understand what is involved from the farm level?
This programme is designed for individuals or partners who want to explore opportunities in coffee production. Joel takes participants through farm practices, harvesting and processing, explaining the different methods and providing guidance on the steps involved in producing coffee.
The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience offers an introduction to the coffee business from its agricultural foundations.
Student Workshops
Joel also welcomes pupils and students from nearby schools, particularly those studying entrepreneurship.
These workshops introduce students to the coffee value chain and the concept of value addition. Through theoretical lessons and practical activities, they learn how coffee moves from the farm to the finished product and how agricultural products can be transformed into goods with additional value.
Coffee Sourcing and Business Cooperation
Are you a coffee roaster, buyer or business interested in sourcing coffee directly from a farm in Uganda?
Joel is open to discussing different types of cooperation, depending on your interests and requirements. Besides the coffee produced on the farm, there may also be opportunities to discuss specific coffee profiles or selected micro-lots.
If you are looking for particular coffee characteristics or have specific sourcing requirements, it is best to get in touch with Joel before the harvest. This allows you to discuss the possibilities and explore whether a suitable arrangement can be made.
Every enquiry is handled individually, with the aim of finding an approach that works for both sides.
Contact Joel to discuss coffee sourcing or possible business cooperation.
