https://businessfocus.co.ug/uganda-ranked-3rd-country-with-best-coffee-globally/?fbclid=IwAR0nMAnOZryNoHa0oA6FrwWzFqdLAux0RJXF5LNlmmUpVEbpZI4BEs3FqTU

Uganda is the 3^rd country with best coffee globally, if 1,229 professional coffee tasters from around the world are to be believed.

According to beanpoet, the best coffee country in the world is Ethiopia. Ethiopia's coffees, as a group, fell higher on the scale than those of any other country. It is followed by Kenya in second and Uganda in the 3^rd spot.

This is based on coffees from around the world that were harvested from 2010 to 2018 and graded by 1,229 professional tasters certified by the Coffee Quality Institute.

The CQI is a non-profit organization that works internationally to improve the quality of coffee and the lives of the people who produce it. Their certified coffee graders must pass 22 tests to prove they can grade coffee accurately and consistently by its aroma, flavor, acidity, body, balance and more.

Coffee-growing countries and how their coffees were rated

The chart shows where coffees from the top 16 countries fell on the grading scale, with a maximum score of 100. Each coffee is represented by a dot, and you can hover over the dot to read more details about the coffee.

The chart excludes the coffee-growing regions that had fewer than 20 coffees graded, and we also discarded one coffee from Honduras that somehow earned a score of zero. (That would have been unfair to all the other Honduran coffees!)
