Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.

Where is it from?
Maliba is at 1600 m.a.s.l. in the foothills of the Rwenzoris, with many farmers living and growing coffee well above this height. Agri Evolve established a buying centre here for the local farmers.
Farmers typically have between 1 and 2 acres of land and coffee is their main cash crop. Ripe, red coffee cherries are harvested daily during the harvest season and taken to the buying centre. At the height of the season this is between 5 and 10 tonnes of cherries per day. The cherries are weighed, assessed for quality and the farmers are paid in cash. The cherries are ‘floated‘ to remove any lower quality ones. From here trucks carry the cherries to the Coffee Station at Nyabirongo. The cherries are then sun dried for up to 3 weeks before being hulled and the green beans are then graded and sorted being final preparation and bagging ready for export.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
