Uganda
Uganda, on the shores of Lake Victoria, straddles the equator and is the source of the Nile. Its coffees benefit from a bi-average rainfall season, high altitudes, and a year-round pleasant climate. Bugisu is a region in eastern Uganda and coffee there is grown at high elevations(1,300 to 2,600 meters) on the slopes of Mount Elgon. This makes it a hard bean, very suitable for darker roasting. Bugisu coffee has more body than most other East African coffees, and somewhat lower acidity.
Altitudes: 1,500 – 2,300 m.
Harvest: September – February.
Varieties: Nyasaland/Bugisu
Taste profile: It has got a rich body with a buttery texture, mild acidity, and a dry finish, like a good red wine. We really enjoy the notes of cocoa powder, molasses, and cherry.
Colombia
The Jesuits first introduced coffee to Colombia in 1723. It spread slowly as a commercial crop to several regions of the country, but its production did not become substantial until the end of the 19th century. By 1912, coffee made up approximately fifty percent of Colombia`s total exports.

Colsuaves’ Popayán coffee comes from the region called “Meseta de Popayán”(Popayán plateau) in the Colombian region of Cauca. The desirable growing conditions is due to the high altitude, volcanic origins with low pH levels and the surrounding mountains which protects the coffee against the humidity of the Pacific Ocean and the winds from the south.
Altitude: 1,700 – 2,100 m.
Harvest: March – June (main crop) and November – December (mitaca crop).
Varieties: Typica (21 %), Caturra (64 %), Castillo (15 %).
Taste profile: Colombian coffees have a wide range of flavours, from chocolaty to sweet and fruity

Coffee is a passion for Mr Monterroso and he constantly refines his processes and readily experiments with new processing and cultivation methods as well as new cultivars and varietals. Pache is a cultivar which is closely related to this region as it is in Mataquescuintla (aka”Colís”) where the dwarf mutation of Typica – namely “Pache” – was first identified andcatalogued.
El Morito has two of the main types of Pache cultivars:
Pache “San Ramón” (aka Pache Común) and Pache “Colís” (aka Pache Enano) with the second one being a significantly smaller plant and fruit/bean.
