The Gato Negro is grown high up on the side of the western slope of the Mount Elgon Volcano along Uganda’s eastern border with Kenya. It is grown by a cooperative group of farmers who work together as the Bugisu Cooperative Union formed in 1954. The co-op members take great pride in their coffee and the name “Bugisu” continues to be synonymous with the highest quality coffee produced in Uganda

As part of The Barrington Coffee Origin Certified™ Program our Gato Negro has been certified at origin by CERES as having been produced without the use of pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers.

The Gato Negro is also available alongside the Commonwealth and the Ceremony as part of our Dark Roast Sampler.
