Zambian coffees offer a balanced flavor profile, with moderate complexity and body. It's less "bright and acidic" than other East African coffees, providing a nice alternative. The modes of production are quite different as well, with much of the production coming from larger, well-organized operations.
Zambian coffee is something we offer infrequently, and only when new crop lots first arrive. But we remain dedicated to offering Zambia and other African origins, as the quality and range of coffees from this continent continues to impress and amaze us!
Coffee was introduced in the 1950's with cultivar seedstock from Tanzania and Kenya. It is grown mainly in the Northern district of the Muchinga Mountains (regions of Nakonde, Kasama and Isoka) and in the vicinity of the capital city of Lusaka. You can read more about the way we source Zambian green coffee, and view our photos, on our Zambia Coffee Library page.
