September to February

Makali is one of the eight community zones Mountain Harvest works within on Mount Elgon, found on the Southern slope. Mountain Harvest has been working in this community for over 5 years, developing one of our best community-based relationships on the mountain due to their social cohesion and ability to organize. Led by their model farmer, Watira Bakali and our Mountain Harvest field team, farmers have access to a Mountain Harvest drying shed, pulping facility, and clean water to process their coffee with autonomy and guidance. We find notes of maple, lemon, black tea, honeysuckle, floral rose, and honey.
