Val&tins Garden Dark Night, Uganda
Val&tins Garden Dark Night, Uganda
The 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 reduced, the roasted flavours and bitter substances come more to the fore. "The darker the night, the brighter the stars shine." In Africa, and especially in Uganda, the nights are jet 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 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 because of its high ecological importance. Even the Greek geographer Ptolemy reported on the legendary "Mountains of the Moon", where the Nile is said to have originated. Trees covered in dense lichen and primordial 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 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. On the steep slopes, the ripe coffee cherries are carefully picked by hand. Coffee is the only source of income for the community of Isule. Every additional franc the farmers receive per kilogram secures the income for the families and thus also the expensive school fees for the numerous children.
In Western Uganda, coffee is often sold to middlemen below cost price and mixed with other low-quality varieties. In this way, coffees of varying quality find their way into the world market. Val&tin's garden believe that direct trade offers a real opportunity to bring producers and consumers directly together. That is why they have launched the Isulecoffee project. With this project, they enable farmers to connect directly to the market and thus sustainably improve working and living conditions in Isule.
