Maliba is a fruit-forward coffee, with a balance of citric zing and honey sweetness.

Maliba is situated in the Eastern foothills of the Rwenzoris. Farmers pick their ripe red cherries as high as 2000 metres. They are then transported to Agri Evolves processing station at Nyabirongo. Maliba demonstrates clearly the high-quality, naturally processed coffee coming from the Rwenzoris.

60p from each kilo sold goes directly to the ACE2030 project in Uganda’s Rwenzori mountains.

Rwenzori Mountains

The Rwenzoris are situated in the West of Uganda, and are the home to all of our Ugandan coffees. Farmers in the area typically have 1-2 acres of land, and sell their ripe coffee cherry at washing stations managed by Agri Evolve.

Sweet & Complex

Nyabirongo has all the hallmarks of a great African natural - with notes of black tea and apricot, it's up there with the best of them.

Natural

The natural process requires skill and attention to get right. The ripe coffee cherry is picked and left out to ferment in the sun, turned regularly so that no mould grows. The enzymatic reactions that occur here sink right into the seed (or bean), and leave you with a coffee that's full of funkiness and complexity.

The process historically was common in places with less water available, but you'll see it all over the world these days, in producer's quests to find wild results in their lots.

Fruity Intensity

Naturally processed coffees have that heady funkiness that might not be your traditional idea of intense, but they're powerful nonetheless. Nyabirongo is a fine example of a clean, well processed natural that shows off how complex coffee can be.
