So, you may ask, why such a small place can appear in Starbucks so many times.

The consistently excellent coffee from Seb Farm is the result of the coffee belief that local coffee farmers have always adhered to. Malawi, in the inland south, is not an easy place to grow coffee because of a lack of infrastructure. However, local coffee farmers pour their efforts, use their limited resources, use drip irrigation systems for precise watering, solar dryers to dry coffee beans to save energy, waste composting, water recycling and filtration, and regular soil monitoring, every step of its treatment reflects their respect for the local natural environment. They extend the same idea to people in the community.

In 2016, Starbucks also took a series of measures to help build infrastructure in Malawi.
