First founded in 1972 close to Kateshi Village, the Kateshi Coffee Estate was, and still is, one of the first coffee estates in Zambia. Originally known for its wet processing facilities, the estate was the heart and soul of coffee production in northern Zambia and was used as the central processing mill for the entire region. Their love and care has won them many accolades from Zambia's annual Taste of Harvest competition and we're honoured to bring this stunning bean to you.

Kateshi has been recognised for boldly challenging gender stereotypes in Zambia, being the first and only coffee estate to employ women for traditionally male-dominated roles such as driving tractors, bull-dozers and road graders. They also sponsor a football team, the Kateshi Coffee Bullets who compete in the Zambian 1st Division.

To create this coffee, the best cherries are carefully selected using a double handpicking method to ensure the quality is to the highest standard. This is followed by floatation to remove low-density cherries that could effect the final flavour profile. These cherries are then fermented in sealed tanks for 24 hours before being dried on raised beds. The cherries are spread across the beds in thin layers (2 cherries deep) to ensure even drying, and regularly turned over a period of 3 to 4 weeks. This even drying ensures each bean is given the chance to shine and bring out the best big fruity notes this coffee is known for.

*Our coffee is freshly roasted each Monday & Thursday and orders are dispatched on Wednesday and Friday with Royal Mail Tracked 48. Please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.

  1. Grind your coffee to a medium-coarse grind
  2. Weigh out your coffee, we always recommend 60g coffee to 1 litre of water.  For example: 400ml brew = 24g coffee
  3. Using fresh water, boil your kettle, fold the filter paper into your Chemex and flush with hot water to pre heat the Chemex and remove any papery taste. Discard the water
  4. Pour the ground coffee into the Chemex paper and gently shake to even out the coffee bed
  5. Start a timer then begin to bloom your coffee by pouring enough water to just cover and wet all the coffee and leave to steep for 30 seconds
  6. At 30 seconds begin to gradually add the rest of the water until all your water is added by 1 minute 30 seconds
  7. Allow the coffee to drain through the filter. If your grind is correct this should take approximately 5 minutes in total
  8. Pour and enjoy

  1. Grind your coffee a little coarser than table salt. You will need approx 15-17g of coffee.
  2. Boil your kettle with fresh water.
  3. Add your boiled water to the brewing chamber, just up to the fill line.
  4. Fill the basket with coffee, slightly mounded, and level the surface off with your finger. Brush away loose grounds on the top edge of the filter basket.
  5. Carefully screw the top of the brewer to the bottom not over-tightening it.
  6. Place the Moka pot on your stove over a medium heat ensuring the handle is not in any direct heat.
  7. Keep the lid open and wait for the coffee to extract into the top chamber.
  8. Once the coffee starts to bubble out of the inner spout and no more liquid emerges carefully take the Moka pot off the heat and run the bottom chamber under a cold tap to stop any further extraction.
  9. Pour and enjoy.
