This coffee is from Zambia's Northern Province near the Mafinga Plateau, grown at 700-1400 meters altitude on the Kateshi estate, established in 1972 as one of Zambia's oldest coffee estates. The varietals are Castillo and Catimor 129, processed using an anaerobic natural method where cherries are double hand-picked at over 98% ripeness, fermented in sealed tanks, and slow-dried on raised beds for three to four weeks. The result is a cup with exceptional clarity and depth.
