Located in Bundibugyo, Western Uganda, Semuliki Forest cacao is grown by 1,002 organic smallholder farmers in the region, 52% of whom are women. Latitude Trade Co. (LTC), the company that processes and exports this cacao, has organized 6 rural collection points for farmers to access, where they sell fresh cacao weekly into the network and receive cash at the point of sale. We work with Uncommon Cacao in bringing these beans to Triangle Roasters and love this bean because it has a great balance of base chocolate and fruit forwardness. It is a very versatile bean, with the flexibility to shine in different ways at different roast profiles.
