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.

Overall a really great toy for all sizes of dogs
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: X-Large, Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: X-Large
I ordered this product on Thursday and it said that it was going to be at my house in a week , but to my suprise it got delivered on that Saturday. My puppy loves these nylon bones. She is a 12lb dog but I ordered the X-Large size, and she loves it! The nylon bones really work in keeping her teeth clean of tar for the most part, and she loves the flavoring inside. The only downfall is when she got to the marrow part it stained my light sheets. I replaced them with darker sheets and there is no trace of the bone. Overall a really great toy for all sizes of dogs!

Durable, Flavorful, Chew Toy
Size: Medium & Large, Color: Red Scorpion
This bacon flavored scorpion shaped dog toy has been a huge hit with my Labrador. The material feels extremely durable and appears to be made from a hard nylon that can stand up to serious chewing. At first, I was skeptical about the bacon scent because I couldn’t smell anything when I opened the package. The moment my dog started chewing on it, though, the bacon scent became much more noticeable. Anyone else who doesn’t smell it immediately shouldn’t worry because it definitely seems to activate once the toy gets some use. My dog is an enthusiastic chewer and has not been able to destroy this toy. Even better, I haven’t seen any meaningful signs of wear, gouging, or damage despite repeated chewing sessions. That level of durability is exactly what I was hoping for. The design also includes areas where treats can be added for extra enrichment, which adds even more value. Most importantly, it has seemed very safe during use, and I haven’t had to worry about pieces breaking off. Overall, this toy has been durable, engaging, and well worth it. My dog loves it, and I love having a chew toy that can actually survive more than a few days.

Built Tough Enough to Handle Serious Chewers
Size: Medium & Large, Color: Red Scorpion
This toy is noticeably harder and denser than standard dog chew toys, which is the whole point. My dog went after it immediately and the nylon held up through serious chewing sessions without gouging, cracking, or pieces breaking off. For a dog that destroys softer toys in minutes, this actually lasts. Based on a few weeks of use I would expect it to hold up for a month or longer depending on the dog, which is significantly better than most toys in this price range. The peanut butter groove is the engagement feature that makes a difference. Stuffing it with peanut butter or other spreadable treats keeps a dog interested longer than just chewing on it plain. The scorpion shape (though it resembles a lobster to some eyes) gives multiple parts to chew on, so the dog can rotate between the legs and tail when one section gets boring. That variety helps extend how long the toy stays interesting. Cleanup is straightforward since it is dishwasher safe, which matters after using peanut butter or other treats in the groove. The teeth cleaning claim is harder to verify in short-term use, but as a durable boredom relief toy for aggressive chewers this performs solidly. It is the kind of toy that actually justifies the price because it does not end up in the trash after a week.

Crawfish that cleans her teeth and tastes like bacon, enough said.
Size: Medium & Large, Color: Red Scorpion, Size: Medium & Large, Color: Red Scorpion
This chew toy is for a medium to large-sized dog and smells like bacon, and who doesn't love bacon? The toy has a heavy-duty safe for dogs nylon core, making it virtually indestructible for aggressive, all-day chewers like my dog. I am from Louisiana, and I love all things crawfish. I thought if she didn't like it, then I could use it to decorate for crawfish parties, but she loves this toy. There is a groove for treats like peanut butter or cheese, whatever your dog is into. My dog likes carrying it around, but I don't think she understands to chew on it yet. However, she must love the bacon taste in her mouth because she hardly takes it out. I wanted her to chew on it to help clean her teeth; maybe in time, she will start. This toy is dishwasher safe after rinsing it off with soapy warm water. Just place it on the top rack and turn it on. The crawfish is smooth and non-porous, so there are no spots for bacteria to hide. I really like this crawfish, and I hope that in time my little weirdo will understand that it is meant to be chewed, not sucked on. I highly recommend this for larger dogs that love to chew, and I am happy with this order.
