Origin and Processing
It grows in Mbala, northern Zambia, at Mount Sunzu, a project with full control from cultivation to drying and final preparation. This level of traceability helps create a stable, clean, and consistent cup.
The natural process enhances the sweeter and riper side of the coffee. After careful selection, the cherries are floated and then dried directly on raised beds over an extended period, covered at night and during rain to protect them from moisture. The result is a sweet, warm, and well-balanced cup.
