Ugandan coffee in Berlin: our cupping at Symple Coffee Roasters

On 28 September 2026 we tasted Ugandan coffees with our partner Symple Coffee Roasters: from Uganda's highlands to a cup in Berlin.

Under the motto “The journey behind every bean”, we invited people to a cupping session with Ugandan coffee on 28 September 2026: together with our partner Symple Coffee Roasters at their café on Sredzkistraße in Berlin, and in cooperation with Regenerate Africa. Our guests included Robert, Director of Rugyeyo Farm, a coffee estate in Uganda, and Ronald from the Ugandan Embassy.

At a cupping, coffee is brewed following fixed rules and tasted with a spoon, so that origin and flavour can be compared. Around the long table we tasted, compared and talked a lot about the coffee’s journey: from the highlands of Uganda, the “Pearl of Africa”, to a cup in Berlin.

A big thank you to the team at Symple Coffee Roasters Berlin, and above all to Thais: she coordinated the cupping together with our volunteer colleague Jasmin, and the two of them made sure the event could take place. Thank you also to everyone who came! We are very glad to partner with Symple, with whom we work on our coffee projects. You can find our own coffee brand in the shop under ABANTU COFFEE.

Taste. Discover. Connect.
