How To Make Honey Processed Coffee - Joel Kaburu from Sipi Falls, Uganda

Meet Joel Kaburu - one of the most ambitious coffee farmers in Uganda.
Joel is always experimenting, and always trying to improve his coffee.
In this video he will show us how to make honey processed coffee. It's a lot of work, but worth it: his coffee tastes amazing.
Joel grows his coffee on the slopes of Mt Elgon in eastern Uganda, just next to the magnificent Sipi Falls. This area has perfect conditions for coffee growing, and is famous for its premium arabica coffee beans.

Hey Joel, congrats on advancements in processing Honey. Look forward to have a cup when I stop into your Sipi town center cafe.

[@Uncensored-Updates]

This guy is rich in knowledge ❤❤❤. I wish I meet him for more information

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

Good man Joel. Improving the coffee processing for better quality. Renaissance man.

[@aristotlejb82]

There is a reason why speciality coffee costs a bit more, everyone can see the labor involved. I really do love the taste of Honey Processed coffee.

Hello, Do you happen to home roast as well? Would you be able to suggest a very juice and fruity coffee? Something that tastes like cherry or blue Berry? I roasted a Honduran bean 3 weeks ago that was amazing and last year I had Brazilian Santos beans that tasted like I added cherry flavoring. It was so good. Out of 5 batches, only 2 batches could I pull the flavoring out. What do you like? How about roast level? Have you invested in a really good grinder? That will be my next investment and upgrade. For now, I'm experimenting with brew specific water. That is where coffee can really pop. I thought it was fine to use filtered water, and it is, but using brew specific water... oh man. Coffee really shines with water made for each type of brew. I look forward to your kind reply. 😊

Many thanks for uploading this. A great insight into the process and makes me appreciate how labour intensive it it. I hope you get a good price for all your hard work! It's a shame we don't see Ugandan coffee very much in the UK.

[@TheWildBrand]

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. Joel and other coffee farmers like him definitely deserves to be better paid for their hard work and dedication. We are very happy to buy his coffee at a premium price. And good news: Wild is working to launch our coffee subscription in the UK as soon as possible. Cheers!

Thank you Steve. Much appreciated. 🙏

[@jakegarcia1796]

Stumbled across this video, and what a great insight into the honey process as well as an exposition on Mr. Joel Kaburu. He exudes passion, humility, and love for coffee and those around him. I tried some Ugandan coffee for the first time in a recent coffee tasting I did and it was the clear favorite amongst our group! Would love to try Joel’s coffee whenever y’all expand exporting to the US!

[@TheWildBrand]

Thanks, Jake! We are really glad you liked it. And we hope to be ready to start shipping to the US very soon!

這些年在亞洲的一些國家比較流行飲用單品咖啡（Single origin coffee），例如中國、日本、泰國、馬來西亞、新加坡等。人們沖泡咖啡的方式喜歡虹吸壺（Syphon）、手沖咖啡（Hand Drip Coffee），這兩種沖泡方式選擇的咖啡豆的烘焙方式會選擇以淺度烘焙（Light Roast）、中度烘焙（Medium Roast）為主。我個人非常喜歡蜜處理（Honey Process）的咖啡豆，它具有平衡的甜感與酸度，混合著熱帶水果的香氣，口感香甜且層次感分明！絕對是精品咖啡（Specialty Coffee）的代表👍 如果我是咖啡商的話，我一定會與 Mr.Kaburu合作，因為他的敬業精神、專業熱情、善良質樸👍 來自上海的愛❤

[@katdziu5317]

Good work. It wouldn't work for my customers to buy roasted coffee. I always adjust the amount I roast for serving. My customer drinks one that has been roasted for a maximum of two weeks, otherwise too much flavor is lost. The only exception is espresso, which is prepared between 10 and 21 days after roasting for an optimal profile.

[@MaxiMejia]

Loved this video! Wishing you guys could make more ☕️

Thanks! More videos are coming soon. We have just expanded our team. 🙂 If you haven't already, please subscribe to our channel for the latest. Thanks!

That sucks that people are taking advantage of these farmers by charging very little. Glad your doing something better for the farmers. This documentary really makes you appreciate the coffee that we drink.

[@TheWildBrand]

Thank you! It is very true: the farmers are the weakest link in the coffee value chain, and unfortunately, there are quite a few actors exploiting them, We believe the best solution is more transparency, traceability and establishing a direct link between the farmer and the end consumer.

[@tarekz9992]

I am very saddened by the fact these farmers and their staff work so hard with so much passion yet only get a few dollars a pound. Meanwhile the roasters charge upwards of $30 a pound. The industry needs to change. At a minimum it should be 50/50 split of what the coffee is sold for.

[@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat]

I felt the same way. Since then I found a site that shows exactly where the coffee was farmed and I sent them a gift of cash in the mail. They will never know me but it felt so good. I'm only telling you because you seem like a good person and maybe if you can, you could do the same. I would not have done so by my own thought until someone sarcastically told me if I felt bad then I should send them some money directly. Idk if the coffee I got was indeed from that farm but does it really matter in the big picture of things?
