Sironko Uganda
Sweet, citrusy and just a little bit fizzy - this Ugandan gem brings big cola energy, silky almond depth and a juicy pop of satsuma. Grown in the volcanic slopes of Mount Elgon by a tight-knit community of smallholder farmers, this lot is all about heart and harmony. Washed with waters from the legendary Sironko River and carefully fermented for max clarity, it's a coffee that's been through the works - and came out sparkling. With bold flavours and even bolder roots, it's a sip of history, empowerment and sunshine in a cup. Bright, crisp and wildly drinkable - this one's got main character energy.

From Outpost Coffee
The story goes that during a famine centuries ago, the tribes moved east and stumbled across a river which proved their saviour. They named it ‘Sironko’, meaning 'solace' and 'peacefulness' in the Lumasaba language, spoken by the ethnic locals on the slopes of Mount Elgon. Their washing station is located in Budadiri subcounty near the famous river and processes coffee cherries from the surrounding communities, still sustained by this abundant water source. We provide 'Good Agricultural Practices' (GAP) Training for partner farmers to help improve quality, productivity and yield, as well as agro inputs and seedlings. Our Sironko team also operate women and youth empowerment programs; running workshops addressing attitudinal change on resource ownership, acquisition and family participation, as well as creating farmer savings and loans groups to encourage long term economic stability in the community.
