This Zambian Gold Natural coffee comes from the NCCL Estate, located in the Kasama region of Zambia. With farms on elevations between 1300 and 1600 MASL, this region is ideal for high quality coffee. For the Natural-processed ‘Gold’ coffees, the best cherries are carefully selected with double handpicking (ensuring a consistency of over 98% of fully formed red ripe cherries) before being dried on raised beds. The cherries are spread across the beds in thin layers to ensure even drying, and regularly turned over a period of 3 to 4 weeks.
You will taste the milk chocolate transition to a dark chocolate and caramel finish. As this Zambia coffee cools, you will notice a touch of citrus spritzer flavor to brighten this cup.

Lots of fun and serious discussions in cupping here to offer you our take on what we taste as prevalent in the final cup, roasted at medium, cupped black, absolutely no additives. Each lot is remarkably different and offers tremendous cupping nuances as a result of its natural milling and fermentation.
