Angolan coffee is famous for its sweet taste. The most amazing thing about the Angolan coffee bean is that it is a strong bean. Robusta beans are usually known for their strong flavor and are often used as fillers for Arabica coffee beans by major coffee producers. The grinding and mixing of two kinds of beans produce a completely sweet and smooth flavor. For many, however, the Angolan robusta bean is a completely sweet and smooth taste without any blending. That's why angora beans were the most valuable coffee beans on earth before the war.

In 1973, during the colonial era, Angola was the largest coffee producer in Africa with more than 204000 tons.

With the outbreak of the civil war in Angola in 1975, Portuguese coffee growers left their plantations and coffee cultivation began to decline.

Thirty years later, only a small number of workers in Angola at that time still had the knowledge to cultivate coffee.

However, the privatization of old trees, land and mines is also a huge obstacle to the continued development of coffee production.

As a result, only 5000 tons of coffee were produced in 2007.

At the same time, there are various projects to promote the coffee industry in Angola, such as the International Coffee Organization, the United Nations, etc.

Or the project of the Angolan non-governmental organization AAD, which is the project sponsor of the OIKOS project.

In addition to the coffee infrastructure, farmers have received support for the cultivation of food crops so that they no longer have food aid after six months.

So robusta coffee is once again grown by small farmers in Angola.

It is not a single cultivation, but a part of diversified agriculture. This makes plants less vulnerable, so they need neither fertilizers nor pesticides. Call it organic coffee.

The main growing area is the Southern Kwanza (Kwanza Sul) area, which is located in the town of Gabela in the west of the country.

It remains to be seen how coffee production in Angola will develop in the next few years, so Robusta fans can also enjoy it here.
