  • Coffee from Chipunga, near Mzuzu

    I finished drinking my souvenir of Malawi coffee last week.

    I like the strong, rich flavour of Malawi coffee. It’s strong, it’s chocolatey, it’s earthy.

    Each time I wonder how I could help to promote Malawi coffee and its unique taste in Europe. Rather than importing green beans, could we import roasted beans? Rather than mixing different kinds of beans, could we promote single origin coffee? How would I start? What do I need to consider?

    finished drinking my packet of Chipunga coffee from Mzuzu in Malawi. I love the strong flavour.

    If you are interested in learning more about Chipunga, they have a website.

    Chipunga Coffee is grown at a high elevation in a cool, wet climate, on terraces of deep-brown-reddish free-draining soils.

    There is a cool project where you can subscribe to receive different kinds of Malawi coffee. Currently, on a hiatus it seems, but please check out A Coffee Basket from Malawi.

  • Single-origin coffee from Malawi

    Roasted Arabica coffee from Malawi tastes great. Here’s my attempt to point to Malawi coffee brands.

    I’d love to see more single-origin coffee on European shop shelves. 

    I’m a fan and miss the taste of roasted Malawi coffee beans.

    Buying Malawian coffee by Malawian brands supports hardworking farmers and their communities. 

    I’m not connected to any of the coffee farms that I’ve listed here. I didn’t receive any money or samples. I’m simply a fan.
