Coffee That Cares
About Gorilla Highlands Coffee
Gorilla Highlands Coffee is a specialty coffee brand grown in southwestern Uganda, around Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga National Park, where premium coffee, community empowerment, and environmental conservation go hand in hand.
This coffee project supports over 1,500 smallholder farmers, with a strong focus on sustainable agriculture, local empowerment, and long-term social impact.
Many farmers grow coffee alongside food crops such as beans, maize, and avocados, helping strengthen food security for their households and communities.
Around 60% of the participating farmers are women, making Gorilla Highlands Coffee not only a premium coffee story, but also a story of inclusion, dignity, and shared progress.
