Zambia is a landlocked country in Southern Africa surrounded by Angola, Congo, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Namibia.The finest Zambian coffee is grown in the northern district of the Muchinga Mountains within the regions of Nakonde, Isoka and Kasama and near the vicinity of the capital city of Lusaka. Our coffee comes from Lupili Estate, where the first coffee crop was planted in 1982. They have a rotational program that uproots and re-plants each field every seven to eight years, which means that they are always harvesting from young coffee, which is largely disease free. The coffees are all hand picked red cherry, with the same trees being re-picked approximately 10 times over the harvest.The wet method is common in Latin America and parts of Africa and Indonesia. The coffee cherry is depulped (grated-off) by milling machines to expose the green beans. The beans are then soaked and washed in an interconnected system of water channels and reservoirs and dried on patios. The beans are then sorted, graded and bagged.Zambian coffee is often compared to Tanzanian and Kenyan coffee. Lupili Estate is wonderfully acidic coffee with an intense flavor, rich body and a very fragrant and floral aroma with mellow winey overtones.
