When it comes to Africa, people's first impressions are: desert, drought, tribe, poverty, mystery and so on. Because of its climatic environment, it has become a paradise for the growth of coffee trees.

Angola is one of the fourth largest coffee producers in the world. Between 1975 and 1976, the country produced 1 million bags of coffee a year, most of which were exported.

This is the fourth largest coffee industry in the world, but it produces only a small amount of Arabian coffee, which is of high quality, but unfortunately, its annual output is extremely unstable due to its political upheaval. 98% of the coffee in Angola is Roberts coffee. The best brands in Angola used to be Ambriz, Amborm and NovoRedondo, all of which are known for their consistent quality. Angolan coffee is famous for its high acidity.

Angola is famous for its unique robusta coffee, which provides a pleasant neutral taste in brewed coffee. As this kind of coffee is relatively rare, it is difficult to find tasting notes. This kind of coffee is very popular in Portugal and Spain in southern Europe.

This famous quality has become less consistent in recent years due to the lack of stability in Angola and the problems affecting Angolan coffee farms. Current complaints about the imperfect quality of Angolan coffee include the obvious old taste, as well as the insufficient moisture content and yellowish color of coffee beans.

If Angola can improve its coffee production and return to its usual quality, this product will have a ready market for import to North America and Europe, although it remains to be seen whether the revival of the Angolan coffee industry of origin will bear fruit.
