Mzuzu is a joint cooperative made up of five primary coffee farmers' cooperatives, with about 4000 farmers. Its full name is Mzuzu Coffee Planters Cooperative Union or MZCPCU. Similar organizations can be found in all East African countries.

The five junior cooperatives are all located in important coffee producing areas in northern Malawi. They are located in:

1Misuku Mountain area (Chitipa District)

2, Phoka Mountain area (Rumphi District)

3Jing Viphya Mountain area (Rumphi District)

4, Mzimba Eastern Mountain area (Mzimba District)

5, Nkhata-Bay Plateau (Nkhata-Bay Administrative region)

Mzuzu coffee comes from 45 washing plants scattered in northern Malawi. Therefore, these areas produce different characteristics of coffee beans, but generally speaking, Mzuzu coffee can be said to be a very good quality Arabica, with aromatic flavor, medium thickness, rich flavor and fusion of many flavors.

The bottom layer is dark chocolate that can also tell the sweetness, with a bright orange flavor in the fruity tone, followed by a subtle grapefruit flavor at the back end. If you like rich fruit chocolate and medium thickness, then this is the coffee you want. Generally speaking, the middle line of roasted hard beans will have a white silver skin close to it, so it will have a perfect and lasting flavor. Qianjie Coffee believes that Mzuzu hard beans are the best choice for Vienna or Full-city baking.

Mzuzu is grown by nearly 4000 farmers in five regions of northern Malawi. The altitude is between 1200 and 2900m.

The Mzuzu small Farmers' Union, as mentioned above, mainly has five coffee-producing areas. Each region has coffee producers' associations, whose main tasks are breeding, planting guidance, education and training, organizing farmers, and maintaining industrial roads. Coffee fruits harvested by farmers can be bought and sold freely, unlike the centralized auction system in Kenya, so the relationship between farmers and the government is more harmonious. As for the varieties planted in Malawi, they are all planted by Elaraby, especially Agaro and Geisha. Due to the weak resistance of Agaro to CBD (coffee cherry disease) and leaf rust, many farmers changed to Catimor. Of course, some farmers planted Mundo Novo, Blue Mountian and Catura introduced by missionaries in the early years.
