{"product_id":"glasgow-gala-uganda","title":"Glasgow Gala - Uganda","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis year we were super hyped and proud to enter the Best Roaster competition at Glasgow Coffee Festival. For this we had to submit two coffees, the first was supplied by the competition runners to every participant and each roastery had to roast and submit 10kg for judging. We loved it so much and were so proud of what we created we've decided to add it to our store!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo with no further introduction we bring you Glasgow Gala! A beautiful washed process coffee from Uganda. An incredibly bright and sweet coffee from Mt. Elgon roasted with love and care in Yorkshire by us right here at Chipp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee is a stunning washed process arabica coffee from Wanale Coffee and The Coffee Yard in Uganda, with extra support from The Coffee Gardens Project. Wanale Coffee is named after the prominent peak overlooking Mbale City, a natural convergence point for all coffee coming from the surrounding communities of Mt. Elgon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee is grown at elevations between 1,300 and 1,600 meters above sea level and is processed by trained lead farmers, who are responsible for pulping, fermentation and drying. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Coffee Yard purchases the coffee in parchment form, typically at moisture levels of 13–15%. Coffee is first assessed through defect and sensory analysis, and only lots that match desired profiles are selected. These then undergo final drying, categorisation, and cupping to ensure consistency and quality, prior to milling and final sorting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Coffee Yard is run by the incredible Norman Mukuru, a coffee guru with decades of experience. In the flatlands approaching the foothills of Mt. Elgon he has established The Coffee Yard, a huge centre for coffee drying with a formidable reputation for high quality naturals with a diverse range of cup profiles curated for individual clients' specific preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Coffee Gardens Project has been established for many purposes: to improve farmers’ income and livelihoods, create and provide rural employment, promote gender equality, increase transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain, promote and work on environmental protection in the area and to provide farmer training in Good Agricultural Practises (GAP).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis work has now expanded with The Coffee Gardens working with local partners like The Coffee Yard where they are are supporting Norman Mukuru and his team at The Coffee Yard to bring his coffees to the UK and EU. This relationship is now in its second year and looking to build upon the work they officially started in 2024\/25. They have known Norman for several years and built a relationship on sharing knowledge and learning from each other around processing and creating farmer traceability programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Our coffee is freshly roasted each Monday and Thursday.
