El Imposible Roasters Turquoise, Bugisu, Uganda
The Turquoise line includes the SL 14 coffee variety and comes from the coffee plantation of Gidegi Nicanoli from the Bugisu region in Uganda, where his Arabica coffee is grown at an altitude of 1,940 metres above sea level. His family started growing coffee in 1989, and in addition to coffee, bananas and beans are also cultivated on the estate. Bugisu is a region in north-eastern Uganda in the area of the Mountain Elgon National Park, about 100km north-east of Lake Victoria. The equatorial climate around the extinct volcano Mountain Elgon is a preferred coffee growing area because of its regular, abundant rainfall and fertile soil - a perfect combination between rain, sun and the mineral-rich volcanic soils.
El Imposible Roasters Gmbh is a micro-roasting company from Horw, Lucerne, founded in 2015 and run by Mario Waldispühl and Mira Hochstrasser since then. Their first imported green coffee came from a finca located on the barely conquerable El Imposible hill range in El Salvador. El Imposible also stands for a project that seemed impossible just a few years ago, namely to import green coffee from El Salvador and Uganda directly to Switzerland without sourcing it via the world market trade, thus ensuring fair compensation for the coffee farmers. The coffees are traceable back to the respective coffee farmer and the coffee farmers in Uganda know them personally.
Mario and Mira have a wealth of experience in gastronomy and food science. Mario is a former chef and partner of the Gasthaus Krone with 15 Gault Millau points and currently co-owner of the Jazzkantine. Other areas of activity include catering and working as a private chef. He is also involved in "Cuisine sans frontières" and is co-organiser of the Kitchen Battle Lucerne. Mira is a food engineer with a Master of Science from the ETH in Food Science. Previously, she had a career in baby milk development and at a muesli manufacturer. In addition to her work at El Imposible Roasters, she is a 40 per cent lecturer at the Strickhof vocational school in Au-Wädenswil for prospective food technologists.
