These include agroforestry and regenerative agriculture, which support biodiversity and make soils more resilient. In Luweero, HyCoffee is currently investing in a processing station to specifically raise the quality of Excelsa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-615382\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many producers in Uganda, Excelsa offers more than just an additional coffee species. Combined with Robusta, the different flowering and harvest cycles can help spread income more evenly across the year. This creates financial flexibility at important times, for example when school fees are due. At the same time, diversification reduces risk: if extreme weather or disease hits one crop harder, another can still secure a harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><\/p>\n<h2>What does Excelsa taste like?<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"font-615382\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its cup profile is at least as exciting as its agronomic qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-615382\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excelsa has a pronounced sweetness that often recalls maple syrup.

That's why we at PASSENGER developed our first espresso blend, made up of 33% Excelsa coffee from HyCoffee. We took the opportunity to test it at a number of festivals and events.

Excelsa is seen as one of several promising building blocks for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-615382\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even so, the species is still at the start of its development in the specialty market.
