Uganda is the self-proclaimed “pearl of Africa” and coffee has long been central to its economy. Uganda’s coffee production is largely Robusta from the central lowlands, while Arabica thrives on Mount Elgon (which is split on the border of Kenya and where this coffee is from) and Rwenzoris in the southwest of Uganda. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver decades as a community nurse, Sylvia and her now husband, Dr. Alfred, came to know the villages around them through vaccination drives and household care - and later turned that same commitment towards coffee. Sylvia founded Masha Coffee from her family farm in Kween District, high in the Mt. Elgon Reserve. Her goal with Masha was to give growers a platform to better sell their coffee, and in 2024 she was able to expand her reach by finishing work on a washing station in nearby Sipi Falls. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe selected this coffee to highlight the traceability and elegance of Masha Kween’s coffee. This coffee is sweet, cola-like and has eclectic notes of black tea, cranberry and assorted citrus fruits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commonplace Coffee","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":50281884418295,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":50281884451063,"sku":null,"price":58.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":50281884483831,"sku":null,"price":138.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/4731\/3911\/files\/Masha_Kween_web_12oz.png?v=1763670386","url":"https:\/\/commonplacecoffee.mom\/products\/masha-kween-uganda","provider":"Commonplace Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
