Quality from cherry to cup

Quality is the cornerstone of Gorilla Summit Coffee. By producing only the highest quality Arabica and Robusta, we are able to pay a higher price to the coffee farmers and invest profits in community development projects.

We supply specialty coffee to premier roasters and distributors around the world, with most of the coffee going to the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Roasting capacity in Mbale and Bushenyi supports value addition closer to origin.
