Uganda - Kisoro Estate - Anaerobic Natural
Farm: Kisoro Estate Process: Anaerobic Natural Varieties: SL14, SL28, Nyasaland, Bugisu Elevation: 1800 MASL Region: Western Region


Process:Naturals in Uganda are typically processed after being initially sorted for quality using a float tank, which allows the producer or the mill to remove defective and damaged cherries. The cherries will then be transfered to raised beds or tarpaulins to dry. It is important to note this coffee was intentionally processed utilizing anaerobic fermentation. In general, placing freshly harvested cherries inside a sealed container or bag of some sort for a period of time will create a flavor impact. We find those anaerobically-fermented coffees often exhibit an increase in the intensity of fruit and acidity and a slight increase in the body. Nonetheless, the anaerobic fermentation process has a distinct impact on the outcome of the flavor profile.

UgandaHistorically, Uganda has been known for Robusta production, being that it is the origin of this species. In the early 20th century, Arabica varieties were introduced from Malawi and Ethiopia. Today, Arabica production accounts for about 20% of Uganda's annual coffee exports and we have been seeing a rise in quality since we started sourcing Ugandan coffee in 2014. Farms are typically less than 2.5 hectares in size and coffee is cultivated among other subsistence crops.

Kisoro EstateIn the southern reaches of the Kigezi Highlands lies Kisoro, a district of volcanic soils and sweeping hillsides that border the Virunga Mountains and Rwanda. Known for its cool climate, fertile terrain, and rich biodiversity, Kisoro embodies everything that makes southwestern Uganda so distinct. Here, coffee thrives in harmony with banana, shade trees, and forest life—a landscape that has long sustained families through both beauty and resilience. When Kenneth Barigye founded Mountain Harvest in 2017, his mission was simple yet ambitious: to improve the livelihoods of Uganda’s smallholder coffee farmers. They began by establishing demonstration farms, training communities in regenerative agriculture, and helping farmers achieve consistency and quality. But one farmer’s question reshaped their journey: “Are you a farmer yourself? How can you ask me to take risks you’ve never taken?” It was a challenge that became a turning point. In response, they began investing in farmland of their own—places where they could test, learn, and lead by doing.

Today, with over 250 acres across Western Uganda, Kenneth is now considered the country’s largest Arabica farmer. The Kisoro Estate was among the first of these farms, planted in early 2022 by a small, dedicated team of agronomists and one onsite processing assistant. It has since become a living laboratory—where we experiment with tree spacing, shade management, and agroforestry models that mirror what we teach to our partner farmers. Every stage, from seedling to drying table, is carefully monitored and refined, embodying our philosophy of practice what we teach. These estate-grown coffees represent the intersection of innovation and tradition. They’ve already captured the attention of Uganda’s top baristas and international buyers, with champions selecting these nanolots for competition—guided by processing protocols refined by Ibrahim Kiganda on Mount Elgon. For us, Kisoro is more than a farm. It’s a promise—to lead by example, to learn alongside the farmers we serve, and to continue raising the standard for Ugandan coffee from the ground up. With full control over cherry selection and processing, Kisoro Estate has consistently produced some of Mountain Harvest’s highest-performing coffees. In 2025, Ibrahim Kiganda used Kisoro coffees to win the Uganda Barista Championship and represent the country at the World Barista Championship in Milan, while John Dixon featured Kisoro in his U.S. Barista Championship routine, marking the first time an East African coffee outside Ethiopia placed as a finalist. These results highlight the precision and potential of the Kisoro Estate’s processing systems.

RegionThe Western Region is one of the four geographic regions of Uganda that are then divided into smaller districts. This region spans from the center of the western border of Uganda down to the southwestern-most corner.Its location along the Albertine Rift makes it a fertile coffee-growing region. Many subregions or districts in the area are well-known for their coffee production. Redistricting across Uganda has changed some regions' borders. The Kigezi district was a broader region that encompassed what is now divided into the Kabale District, Kanungu District, Kisoro District, and Rukungiri District.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfort, Style, and Performance — Perfect for Daily Runs and All-Day Wear!
Size: 11, Color: Black/Dark Smoke Grey
I purchased the Nike Men’s Quest 6 for my son, and he’s been absolutely thrilled with them. From the moment he put them on, he noticed how lightweight and supportive they felt — a great balance between cushioning and responsiveness. He wears them both for running and casual outings, and they’ve held up beautifully. The breathable mesh upper keeps his feet cool even during longer runs, and the midsole cushioning absorbs impact nicely without feeling too soft or unstable. The grip on the outsole provides solid traction on roads and gym floors, giving confidence with every step. Design-wise, they look sleek and modern — the classic Nike styling pairs well with both athletic and casual outfits. After several weeks of use, the shoes still look almost new, showing how well they’re built. Pros: ✅ Lightweight yet supportive — great for running or walking ✅ Comfortable fit right out of the box ✅ Excellent breathability and cushioning ✅ Durable construction that holds up with daily use ✅ Stylish design that transitions easily from workout to casual wear Cons: • Runs slightly narrow, so consider sizing up if between sizes Overall, the Nike Quest 6 offers exceptional comfort and quality for the price. My son says they’re some of the most comfortable shoes he’s ever worn — perfect for both training and everyday wear. If you’re looking for a reliable running shoe that combines performance, durability, and style, this is an excellent choice.

Excellent Running Shoe
Size: 11, Color: Black/University Red/White
The Nike Quest 6 has been a great fit right out of the box. The sizing felt true, and the shoe wrapped comfortably without feeling tight or loose. It was easy to get a secure, natural fit from the first wear. Quality is solid for everyday use. The materials feel well put together, and the shoe holds up nicely for walking and light running. It feels dependable and comfortable for regular wear. What really stood out was the value. The price was much better than what I saw in retail stores, especially for a Nike shoe that performs this well. It’s an easy way to get a reliable running shoe without paying full store pricing. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-made shoe that delivers a lot for the cost.

So comfy
Solid solid solid shoe. The value for the money you spend is quick to be noticed. Working in a dental office, I’m on my feet a lot and all of these brands who say they were made by nurses blah blah blah are liars. These were finally the shoes that didn’t make my ankles or feet sore. They take shock absorption so smoothly, and allow me to feel supported and comfortable. Wearing them all day isn’t a chore and honestly made me realize I was less grumpy because I was much more comfortable
