Zambia - Mbuni Anniversary Coffee

Why you’ll love it: A heavy body and wine-like sweetness sets this very rare Zambian coffee apart. Truly one of our favorites.

Story of the bean: Todd personally visited this farm to find coffee to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of La Colombe's founding. It will be - no doubt - the start of a long friendship and the coffee with which he returned is truly one of a kind.

This estate is one of the most innovative in Africa and has developed an irrigation system and unique processing techniques. The micro-climate allows the coffee cherries to fully dry on the tree before being picked. Drying the coffee in this way produces a cup with a concentrated wine-like sweetness and heavy body that we have never tasted before.

Todd travels really light. But there are things he can't leave back home when he's out there in the coffee country looking for the rarest, most exotic beans. His hat, a cupping spoon, and a way to brew coffee are some of the must haves.
