sipi falls hike and coffee tour experience
Sipi Falls - Are you a good coffee drinker or want to know more about how coffee is roasted, grounded and brewed? Coffee is one of the main cash crops grown on the slopes of Mount Elgon. Coffee was discovered in Ethiopia by a goat who always admired the sweet sap of the coffee juice inside the coffee skin. After its discovery, people started eating the fruits mainly during famine and leisure not until the coming of missionaries and the Indian merchants who introduced the commercialization of coffee. The missionaries used to normally send coffee to their relatives as gifts.

Do you appreciate a good cup of coffee or are you intrigued by the process of coffee roasting, grinding and brewing? Coffee, thriving on the slopes of Mount Elgon, is a fundamental agricultural product. The origins of coffee trace back to Ethiopia, thanks to a goat who was fond of the sweet liquid within the coffee fruit. Once discovered, the fruits were largely consumed during periods of famine or leisure. However, it wasn’t until the arrival of missionaries and Indian traders that the coffee industry took off. The missionaries would frequently send coffee back home as presents.
Our coffee tour, located in a rural environment, offers you the unique chance to taste premium Ugandan coffee, handcrafted by you using organic methods. This includes pounding dry coffee beans in a wooden mortar to separate the husks, before roasting them in a pan over a small wood fire. We offer a variety of coffee preparation methods, including red and yellow honey coffee, natural coffee, and semi-washed coffee.
