Experts say climate-resistant excelsa coffee could play a key role in adapting to climate change.

Experts say it comprises less than 1% of the global market, well behind the arabica and robusta species that are the most consumed coffees in the world.

Coffee made from excelsa tastes sweet, with notes of chocolate, dark fruits and hazelnut.

One truck of 30 tons of coffee has to travel some 1,800 miles ( 3,000 kilometres ) to reach the port in Kenya to be shipped.

The cost for the first leg of that trip, through Uganda , is more than $7,500 , which is up to five times the cost in neighbouring countries.

Growing the coffee is n’t always easy, with fires that spread quickly in the dry season and decimate their crops.
