Gebrand Malawi Arabica Coffee, Washed, Pamwamba Estate, A, 1000 g

Manufacturer product description

The Pamwamba Malawi coffee comes from the Southern Thyolo district of Malawi, which was first planted in 1979. The altitude varies between 900 and 1000 meters and the terrain consists of rolling valleys, steep slopes and patches of indigenous forest between the fields of coffee. The fertile soils are a mixture of dolerite clay and alluvial soils. The varieties of coffee grown at Pamwamba are a mixture of Catimor, with a small percentage of SL 28 coffee. The Pamwamba farm has a rotational program that uproots and re-plants each field every seven to eight years, which means they are always harvesting from young coffee, which is largely disease free. The coffees are all hand picked red cherry, with the same trees being repicked approximately 10 times over the harvest, to give a good 85 per cent main grade return.
