The farmers behindevery cup.

Novelo Coffee sources single-origin green beans directly from farming communities in the Ugandan highlands — including the slopes of Mount Elgon in the Bugisu region, one of Uganda's most celebrated coffee-growing areas.

Uganda grows Arabica at altitudes between 1,500 and 2,300 metres above sea level. The elevation forces the coffee cherry to develop slowly, concentrating sugars and flavor compounds that produce the complexity you taste in every Novelo cup.

Our sourcing is farmer-direct. We work through relationships, not commodity markets. When you buy Novelo, a meaningful portion of what you pay traces back to the people who grew it.
