Old World Coffee from Kasama, Zambia
- Altitude: 1,500 Meters Above Sea Level (4,600 feet)
- Process: Anaerobic Natural
- Notes: Blueberry, Strawberry, Fudge
Coffee is a relatively new crop to Zambian farms, it was introduced to the country as recently as the 1950’s. Early on, the focus was primarily on production efficiency and quantity, at the expense of quality. In recent decades, Zambian coffees underwent a dramatic improvement in growing standards, and the country’s specialty bean exports are now in high demand.
This coffee was hand picked and fermented for 24 hours before being sundried on raised beds. This process adds a rich, berry-like sweetness to the beans and emphasizes the natural flavors of the coffee cherry. With a medium roast, the coffee offers a balanced body with muted acidity.
