Four coffees, one Ugandan story.
Robusta, Arabica, a Blend of both, and Mulondo — our functional wellness coffee. Each one medium roasted, medium ground, and available as whole beans or ground in 100g, 250g and 1kg packs (Mulondo: 100g ground only).
Robusta Coffee
Grown in Kanseera, Mubende, in the basin of Lake Victoria — the heartland of Ugandan coffee. Full-bodied with excellent crema stability and dark chocolate notes, medium roasted and medium ground.
Sourcing: Beans are handpicked as red ripe cherries, then floated, sorted and dried under natural sun to a stable moisture content.
Roasting: Dried cherries are hulled, cleaned and medium roasted to develop a sweet, nutty, chocolate and fruity flavour.
Arabica Coffee
Mountain-grown on the slopes of Mt Elgon and in the Rwenzori region, where the Kakone family story began. High altitude and volcanic soils give a bright, complex acidity, medium roasted and medium ground.
Sourcing: Red ripe cherries are harvested, sorted and floated, then pulped, fermented, washed and dried under shade.
Roasting: Hulled, cleaned and roasted to bring out a citrus, dark chocolate and caramel aroma, with vibrant acidity and a sweet aftertaste.
Blend (Robusta & Arabica)
A balanced mix of Robusta and Arabica, crafted to combine the body of Robusta with the brightness of Arabica. Medium roasted and medium ground.
Sourcing: Only carefully selected red ripe cherries are used — the Arabica component pulped, fermented, washed and shade-dried, and the Robusta component naturally sun-dried.
Roasting: The two origins are roasted together for a rich cup with a smooth body, mild acidity and a pleasantly sweet, nutty finish.
Mulondo Coffee
A distinct product line from our core Kakone brand: single-origin Ugandan Robusta blended with Mondia whitei ("Mulondo") root and ginger — a plant long valued in traditional Ugandan wellness practice. Medium-dark roast, ground only.
Traditionally valued for:
- Natural energy & stamina
- Rich in antioxidants
- Sexual vitality & wellbeing
- Mental calmness
Sourcing: Mulondo root and ginger are dried and finely ground, then blended with freshly roasted single-origin Ugandan Robusta after roasting to preserve their character. Wild Mondia whitei is harvested under a conservation-minded protocol — Kakone Coffee is seeking funding to support long-term propagation of the plant.
Mubende Single Origin — a traceable, cupped-and-scored lot.
Alongside our regular pack sizes, we cup and score individual lots from our own Mubende farm — giving buyers full traceability down to the exact location, altitude and processing method.

How to Brew
Add one tablespoon of coffee to a cup. Pour freshly boiled water over the grounds and allow to brew for 3–4 minutes. Sieve and enjoy, with or without sugar and milk.
Coffee, in Moderation
Moderate coffee consumption is associated with everyday benefits: caffeine supports alertness and focus, coffee is a source of antioxidants, and contains small amounts of B vitamins, potassium and magnesium. Enjoy up to 3–4 cups a day; pregnant women or those with heart, sleep or caffeine sensitivity should consult a healthcare professional. This is general product information, not medical advice.
All Kakone Coffee products are packed in resealable, food-grade pouches with MFG/EXP dates and a barcode. Shelf life is 24 months unopened — store in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening.
