I am super passionate about coffee and educating people on all aspects of this amazing drink. I love bringing the stories back from the other side of the world about how they grow and process the coffee differently in each farm, in each region, in each country. I also love helping baristas around the world make better coffee for themselves, whether they're at home, professional, competitors and or even just venturing out into the wide world of coffee.

I am actually from the Eastern side of Uganda( the tribe is Bagisu), arabica is best grown in suitable conditions in that region. I am not a guru but it rains quite a lot in the area and the nature of the soil plays a huge role. Actually everyone in my village has in some way grown or sold or is connected to arabica coffee in some way.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

That's beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I love that everyone is connected to coffee in some way there. 🙌👌❤️

[@jow84it41]

So informative and super interesting! Good tip to look out for arabica and just leave robusta to the instant coffee brews!

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Oh yeh most definitely unless they figure out a way to make the Robusta taste super delish (which they are working on).

In Uganda, there's a tradition of bonding with a friend to become brothers, it's called Okutta Omukago. The process to do it was by using coffee beans smeared in other other's blood and sharing it among the two. And they lasted forever as 'brothers'.
On another note, haven't seen or heard of it anywhere else in the world, I stand to be updated on it; is the use of roasted robusta coffer with the husks on n salted to taste, as a means to increase the serial libido. Men would be seen to chew roasted coffee beans in the evenings as they sit around their compounds. That's not say though, that we were traditional coffee takers like our Ethiopian brothers.
So that's our tradition and it's link to coffee.

Love it!! Thanks so much for sharing. I'll do an updated video down the track and include this! 🙌🤗

@1:10 robusta is mostly grown in the central region (Buganda) because it grows better in low land regions while Arabica is better with the hilly and mountain areas in the east and west of Uganda

[@espresso_mike]

I understand it’s the soils which are better in the Arabica regions.

[@emmanueljkibisi8912]

Hi, You can’t grow Arabica Coffee around Central Uganda becomes of the Soil differences.
Arabica is grown in well Drained Volcano Highland Soils which is not same soils else were in Uganda. Am Arabica coffee in Uganda

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Thank you for sharing! Yes it needs the rich soil to really thrive. But I think there are some other species that will thrive around there like maybe Liberica?
