Our Story

A Legacy Rooted in 1955

Carico began when we organized the first small cooperative farms in the Bugisu region of Eastern Uganda — high on the slopes of Mount Elgon.

The families from those founding communities still cultivate every Carico bean today, tending the land their grandparents farmed.

TRUE PARTNERSHIP

Farmer-Owned, Always

We produce our coffee in harmony with the local ecosystem, and the farmers who grow it are 50% partners — profiting directly from every bag sold.

Naturally farmed, inter-cropped, and grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, preserving the biodiversity of the Bugisu landscape.

The Experience

Specialty In Every Cup

A cupping score of 86 means one wonderful thing:superb flavor.Our single-origin Bugisu Arabica is smooth yet bold, carrying hints of the pristine highlands where it is grown.
