Zambian AA-Kasama area Road Thunderbolt Lupili Manor-derived bourbon flavor?

Slightly lighter than Kenyan coffee, suitable for drinking in the afternoon. Coffee was introduced to Zambia (Zambin) from Kenya and Tanzania in the early 20th century and now it also produces giant coffee beans and bean-shaped berry coffee beans. High-quality Zambian coffee is getting better and better. Although the taste is slightly light, the flavor is similar to that of Kenyan coffee, and the price is exactly the same. Zambian coffee is mainly grown in the northern Kasama region and in the Nakonde and Isoka areas near the capital Lusaka.

Due to political instability and rampant diseases and insect pests, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been damaged, resulting in a decline in the overall level of coffee and instability in quality, which in turn lead to lower prices, which is usually the result of a further decline in the coffee industry. What's more, it is estimated that more than 12% of the Arabica coffee grown in northern Tanzania from 1969 to 1985 was smuggled into Kenya. Recently, however, the country's coffee industry has shown signs of improving. Although the process of improvement is slow, it is still encouraging because, after all, the quality of coffee in Tanzania is excellent.

In the past, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been dominated by manor cultivation, but now more than 85% are grown by small farmers. Many small farmers are combined into cooperative organizations, the most important of which is the Kilimanjaro Cooperative Alliance (Kilimanjaro Cooperative Union, referred to as KNCU). Tanzanian coffee is sold by the Tanzanian Coffee Management Council (Tanzanian Coffee Marketing Board, TCMB) to private exporters by auction. In the 1980s, most coffee sales in Tanzania changed from auctions to being sold directly to the Coffee Management Committee of Tanzania, and the coffee industry is being reformed to allow individuals or groups to buy coffee in the future. at that time, coffee will have to be graded in different ways in order to attract buyers from Germany, Finland, Belgium and Japan.

The territory of Zambia is a little strange, and the northern continent happens to protrude a large piece, which happens to be on the right left of Malawi and the lower left of Tanzania, and the latitude is quite suitable for growing coffee. In about the 1950s, coffee bean varieties were introduced from Kenya and Tanzania to breed, so the flavor was quite similar to Kenyan beans, but because of its special iron-rich soil, it created its special flavor. When baked in City+, the taste is slightly cherry and chocolate, with a slightly irritating tongue and high complexity.
