Val&tins Garden Dark Night, Uganda
Isule Dark Night is a dark-roasted coffee. Strong, low in acidity and with a hint of dark chocolate. At higher temperatures in the roasting drum, the sugar in the beans begins to caramelise. While the acids are broken down, the roasted flavours and bitter substances become more prominent. "The darker the night, the brighter the stars shine." In Africa, and particularly in Uganda, the nights are pitch black. ISULE's latest creation is also inspired by this.
Isule is located in western Uganda at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains on the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A small cooperative in the community of Isule in western Uganda produces an excellent, single-origin Arabica coffee.
The Rwenzori Massif is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its high ecological importance. Even the Greek geographer Ptolemy wrote about the legendary "Mountains of the Moon", where the Nile is said to have originated. Trees covered in dense lichen and unspoilt plants line the path to one of the most beautiful natural paradises in Central Africa. Despite its close proximity to the equator, the climate is pleasantly mild and the soil is rich in nutrients. These ideal conditions favour the cultivation of high-quality Arabica coffee.
The plantation is located at over 1,600m above sea level. The ripe coffee cherries are carefully picked by hand on the steep slopes. Coffee is the only source of income for the community of Isule. Every additional franc that the farmers receive per kilogramme secures the income for the families and thus also the expensive school fees for the many children.
In western Uganda, the coffee is often sold to middlemen at below cost price and mixed with other low-quality varieties. In this way, coffee of varying quality ends up on the world market. Val&tin's garden believe that direct trade offers a real opportunity to bring producers and consumers together directly. They have therefore launched the Isulecoffee project. With this project, they provide farmers with a direct market connection and thus sustainably improve the working and living conditions in Isule.
