Zambia Kateshi is a uniquely complex coffee from the historic Kateshi Estate in northern Zambia, one of the first coffee estates established in the country back in 1972. Located near Kateshi village, this pioneering farm's wet processing facilities once served as the central mill for all coffee produced in northern Zambia, representing the heart of the region's coffee production and continuing that tradition of quality and innovation today.
This Rainforest Alliance certified coffee delivers a distinctive flavor profile with delicate jasmine florals complemented by bright, tangy notes of nectarine and juicy pineapple. This exceptional cup showcases what makes African coffees so special—vibrant acidity, complex fruit character, and elegant floral notes that create a memorable tasting experience.
Kateshi Estate has earned recognition for boldly challenging gender stereotypes in Zambia's coffee industry. As the first and only coffee estate to employ women in traditionally male-dominated roles like driving tractors, road graders, and bulldozers, Kateshi directly contributes to women's empowerment. This progressive approach creates a sense of independence and pride that extends beyond the farm into neighboring communities, making every cup of Kateshi coffee support meaningful social change.
Perfect for adventurous coffee drinkers, African coffee enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a unique single-origin experience with bright, tropical fruit character and floral complexity. Zambia Kateshi represents rare African specialty coffee at its finest while supporting gender equality and sustainable farming practices.
