SINGLE ORIGIN
Specialty, Reimagined
One single-origin bean from Bugisu — crafted into five distinct rituals.
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
Growers Who Own the Harvest
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.
