Zambia

It has been less than 50 years since Zambia built a coffee business platform, and it is a relative rising star in the coffee world, especially in the field of fine coffee. But also because of this, Zambia, led by large coffee plantations, has basically modernized the coffee industry, and they are also the absolute main force of the country's coffee exports. The most appropriate comment for Zambian coffee is "something to look forward to". Fresh fruity and acidity can be found in fine coffee samples.

The original species of Zambia, which originated in Kenya and Tanzania, has a similar flavor to Kenya, but is more complex and subtle in level and has a balanced taste. The prepared beans have a slight frangipani fragrance, citrus is sour and sweet at high temperature, but as the temperature drops slightly, it turns to cranberry acid, with a nutty finish and a rich taste.

Among the coffee producing countries in Africa

Ethiopia, Yemen, Kenya and so on are regarded as first-line producers of fine beans.

Others, such as Rwanda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Zambia, are classified as second-tier coffee producers.

The reason why it is classified as the second tier is not because of the flavor, but because the stability of output and quality is not as stable as that of the first-tier producing countries.

Zambia

Zambia is a landlocked country located in the southeast corner of the African plateau

Coffee cultivation started relatively late and was not introduced from Kenya and Tanzania until the 20th century.

The main coffee producing areas in Zambia are Kasama, Nakonde and Isok.

The territory of Zambia is a little strange, and the northern continent happens to protrude a large chunk.

It happens to be on the right left of Malawi and the lower left of Tanzania, and the latitude is quite suitable for growing coffee.

Around the 1950s, coffee beans were introduced from Kenya and Tanzania for breeding.

Therefore, the flavor is quite similar to Kenya beans, but because of its special iron-rich soil, it creates its special flavor.

When baked in City+, the taste is slightly cherry and chocolate, with a slightly irritating tongue and high complexity.

Similar to the Kenyan sour taste, mellow taste, strong wine and earthy aromas, low acidity and sweetness, full-bodied taste.

Zambian coffee tastes very similar to Kenya, but it has a sweet smell, a raisin flavor, a long finish, a softer finish than Kenya, and a more subtle, complex but well-balanced taste. Some people praised it as the best coffee after supper.
