Cameroon
Why is it unusual to see Cameroon coffee at Sweet Maria’s ?
For starters, this is West African coffee, not East African like most other Arabica offerings such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Rwanda. And a large percentage of Cameroon’s coffee has traditionally been Robusta, grown in all provinces except the north, while arabica is mainly produced in the high altitudes of the west, northwest, and east.
The small amount of Cameroon coffee that comes our way, tends to be by way of local cooperatives, and comprised of a local Java coffee cultivar that has unique, elongated shape, and interesting cup characteristics.
