The cherries come from smallholder communities, from farms that are less than 1 hectare each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farms are managed by family members and are located in parishes, or communities. Each parish acts as the administrative centre for 7-12 villages. These villages can be home to as few as 200 people. The farmers often work in groups, with an individual allocated as their leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of our Ugandan coffees come from different parishes. Occasionally, we may have a lot coming from a communal washing station. We work in high altitude areas, where there is a lot of potential for producing distinctive flavour profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest and post-harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Eastern Uganda, the harvest is between August and January. In the lowlands, the harvest runs between August and October, while in the higher altitudes, it’s from September until January.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries are either bought at small collection centres or delivered directly to the washing station. They are then sorted. Depending on the process, they are either taken to the pulping area or to the drying yard in Mbale. Sometimes, the cherries are delivered directly to the yard for sorting and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for \u003cstrong\u003enatural Coffees\u003c\/strong\u003e, the cherries undergo a thorough selection process when farmers deliver them to the washing station. They are then taken to the drying yard and fermented on drying tables. This is done by adjusting the layers of the coffee, depending on the type of preparation and fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"THE FIX COFFEE ROASTERS","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":57536199557500,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":57536199590268,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/0727\/4620\/files\/a7491ac49fb607f4f34b743fd85d2d6e-3.jpg?v=1790953999","url":"https:\/\/thefix.coffee\/products\/kiwabo-2-uganda","provider":"THE FIX COFFEE ROASTERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
