Zambia Kateshi Estate AA

Zambia is not a coffee growing country we see many samples from. There is plenty of coffee being exported from the region, but their coffee-growing history is much younger than those that surround them. The first coffee was planted in Zambia in the 1950s, however, it wasn't until the last few decades that it became a major contributor to Zambia's agri-business sector. Kateshi is one of a cluster of coffee estates are very close to Kasama town, in Zambia's Northern Province. Estates and "plantations" make up the bulk of coffees that are exported from Zambia. Altitude at Kateshi ranges from 1300 to 1500 meters above sea level. This is the wet process lot of a pair we picked up from Kateshi, the other dry process we've already sold out of.  "AA" refers to bean size range, 15 - 17 1/64ths of an inch in this case. There are a lot of Catimor hybrid types grown in the region for disease resistance, which also happen to produce seeds that are quite large.
