Front Street-introduction to Zambian Coffee

Zambia is a country in Africa, located in Central Africa south of the equator, located in the Zambezi River on this land, so the country is called Zambia. Zambia is a peaceful and friendly country with a moderate people, a suitable climate and a stable investment environment. Like many African countries, coffee is one of its main crops, of course, thanks to its suitable climatic conditions and abundant water resources.

Zambian coffee is actually very similar to Kenyan coffee, only slightly lighter in flavor, and there is indeed a close relationship between the two, because the original Zambian coffee was introduced from Kenya in 1950. Zambia introduced bourbon species from Kenya and Tanzania, and coffee cultivation began. Up to now, the coffee growing areas in Zambia are mainly concentrated in the Kasama area in the north and Nakonde and Isoka areas near the capital Lusaka.

As we all know, East and Southwest Africa are the birthplaces of coffee all over the world. Zambian coffee is of the same series as Kenya, both are high-quality Arabica originals, and they have the same requirements in terms of planting conditions and rating standards. The best coffees come from higher elevations, rated according to sieve criteria, followed by PB (round beans), then AA++,AA+,AA,AB. Raw beans are generally treated with water washing, which is handled very carefully and at a high level.

Zambian coffee beans are especially popular with consumers in Europe and the United States. like most coffee beans grown in Africa, they are wild, with moderate mellow and wine flavours. Zambian coffee is more fruity than the rich berry flavor of Kenyan coffee, and the aftertaste of sage is also impressive.

In Zambia, coffee and tobacco are its traditional agricultural products. The planting area of coffee is about 5000 hectares, the average annual total output is about 4500 tons, and the total annual export volume is more than 8 million US dollars. In recent years, coffee cultivation has increased steadily, and Europe is its traditional market. In recent years, with high quality and stable quality, it has also opened the door to the American market.
