Coffee bean producing area-Africa-Malawi (Malawi)

Well-known representative coffee: Malawi

Malawi is a small country in southeastern Africa and a landlocked country not near the sea. most of its coffee is grown in the northern plateau, but the yield is not large.

But although it is not near the sea, it can be seen on the map that there is a very large lake to the northeast of it. It is Lake Malawi, which is also the natural boundary between Malawi and its neighbors.

Compared with Kenya, Malawian coffee also has considerable sweetness and aroma, while the sour taste is a lower style. If the sour in Kenya is compared with the treble, the sour in Malawi feels like a mid-bass.

Coffee grown in Malawi, which is grown in Arabica and treated with water, is the country's ninth largest export, accounting for about 5 per cent of total exports.

However, in particular, although the export volume is very limited, the mode of production and marketing of its coffee is for local people to set up their own production and marketing companies to be responsible for the production, processing and sale of coffee, rather than the collection and distribution of coffee led by the government in Kenya. In this independent mode of operation, the quality of coffee in Malawi has been maintained at a considerable level, so it is also one of the favorite coffees of traders.
