The main coffee producing area in Uganda is Robusta coffee beans (Robusta)

In Uganda, the value of coffee is much more than a drink, it is an indispensable part of interpersonal communication. The coffee beans are wrapped in banana leaves and roasted over the fire to make a food called Mpokoto, which is very much like Chinese zongzi. David took out some coffee beans for me to chew and taste together. David explained that chewing coffee beans is a symbol of the relationship between people and the instrument of relationship building.
