Ibimbo is a village located in the Kasese District, nestled in the Rwenzori foothills. Farmers there usually cultivate 1 to 2 acres of land, situated between 1700 and 2000 metres above sea level. Collins, an officer from Agri Evolve, supports local farmers by sharing important advice on growing techniques. The farmers process their ripe cherries through a lengthy fermentation before sun-drying them. This careful method enhances the flavours and aromas in the coffee.

The Benefits of Coffee
The research tells us that coffee can be consumed as a part of a heathy diet. This is great news to the coffee lovers out there! But there is more to it than coffee just fitting into an otherwise healthy lifestyle, there are actually many ways that coffee boosts your health.
Drinking coffee actually reduces cognitive decline, and improves cognitive function in a big way. In 2009, an epidemiological study took place which revealed that coffee consumption reduces the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, and AD by 65%. This risk reduction for late-life dementia and AD was for drinkers of three to five cups of coffee per day during their middle life, compared with nondrinkers.
Drinking coffee also reduces the likelihood of type-2 Diabetes developing. Coffee actually allows the body to process glucose better. When you have too much glucose for your pancreas to process, it becomes overused and illness can set in. Give your body some support with a good-quality, black coffee!
