From the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda comes Rubirizi, a coffee that redefines the perception of this origin.
The Long Miles Coffee project, renowned for its exceptional microlots in Burundi, expanded its vision in 2021 with the creation of the Lunar Coffee washing station. There, they work directly with smallholder farmers in the Bwesumbu, Rubirizi, Bunyangabu, and Buhweju areas, cultivating the SL28 variety in rich, fertile volcanic soils.

This batch, from Rubirizi Hill, is a perfect reflection of how Long Miles' expertise translates into a complex and expressive cup.
Local producers receive training and technical support through agricultural programs that improve their quality of life and promote sustainability.

The result is a vibrant cup, with an intense natural sweetness and a creamy texture reminiscent of dessert. Ideal for both espresso and filter coffee, Rubirizi is a sensorial journey into the new generation of Ugandan coffees.
