About Us
Balambuli Kwigate Coffee (BKC) is Ugandan local coffee processing and trading company, located in the Eastern region of Uganda on the slopes of Mount Elgon. Its offices are located in Busoba trading centre, along Tororo Road. BKC operates a washing station in Suguta village, Sisiyi Parish, Buginyanya Sub-County in Bulambuli district, at an altitude of 1800-2300 above sea level. With access to high altitude coffee farms, BKC sources and processes the most premium cherries produced by Uganda’s arabica growing coffee farmers in Eastern region.
Coffee processing at the station is subjected to various preparations, including but not limited to: fermentation for between 16-40 hours and subsequently washing, anerobic preparation, honey processing, especially for naturals. This yields extraordinary cup profiles ranging from winery, floral, chocolate and creamy flavors among others.
Our business model is farmer oriented aiming at offering farmers competitive cherry prices in addition to bonuses at the end of the season. We also provide our coffee farmers with trainings on agronomic practices, as well as credit financing to enable them smoothen household expenditure, especially during off-season.
Our partnership with export companies, such as Darley Investment Ltd, has enabled us to bring the finest Ugandan arabica coffees to coffee consumer markets.
