A good coffee cupping experience will include at least three or four single origin coffees. But if you are feeling more adventurous you can certainly expand that number. Generally, you can cup six samples with a single tea kettle.
The first part of your coffee cupping evaluation is the sniff the aroma of the dry coffee grinds.
It’s Time to Taste the Coffee
There are several transformative community improvement projects that are underwritten from the premium revenues generated by Ugandan Gorilla Summit Coffee.
The volcanic soils of the Bwindi mountains that rise high above Lake Victoria give the unique tasting notes to the Ugandan coffee varieties.
The six ounce option is available in any of the 14 origins available. Coffee beans can be ordered in either medium or dark roast. Customers may select either whole beans or request them ground for any brew method. 
Coffee packages displaying a Fairtrade badge means that coffee farmers and the producer groups they belong to are paid a minimum fairtrade price for their coffee to cover production costs.
Similar to Fairtrade International, Fair Trade USA is an independent, nonprofit organization. This group certifies and labels products that adhere to standards for sustainable livelihoods for farmers and works to protect the environment.
Organizations focused on Fair Trade organizations (FTOs) abide by the Fair Trade principles. They are vocal advocates of producers. Also, FTOs raise awareness of Fair Trade issues. They actively work toward adherence to Fair Trade principles across all international trade practices.
According to Cafe Imports, “as much as 70 percent of labor on coffee farms—planting, picking, processing, sorting—is done by women, though women’s legal representation as land owners and association members is distinctly lower,” ranging from only 5-20 percent.
It is possible for a product to bear a label “Made With Organic Ingredients.” However, this does not qualify it to use the USDA Organic Seal (explained further below).
An organic label is just a label. The USDA Organic Seal is a privilege of certified products. The United States Department of Agriculture governs this labeling term.
When you see a “shade-grown” label on a package of coffee it can refer to a variety of growing conditions that are conducive to protecting migratory songbirds.
