Malawi AB+ Rainforest Alliance Certified
This is our first rainforest alliance certified coffee! Following our core beliefs that coffee should not only be delicious, it should be sustainable.
The AB+ in the name refers to the size of the bean. There are 7 sizes in the African sizing system with E being the largest (and rarest) bean. The 2nd largest bean is AA, like our Kenyan AA. AB+ is one more step down. T
The logic behind this rating system is that the larger the bean, the longer more slowly the coffee cherry developed, translating to a more complex, desirable taste.

Resting Your Coffee
Right after roasting, coffee needs some time to chill for a minimum of three days. Our roasting cycle ensures that when you receive the beans, it’ll already have rested the minimum needed. However, the flavours will continue to improve over a time. How long? Well that depends on the roasting level you ordered.
Generally your coffee will be at it’s peak after:
Light: 7-9 days after roast date
Roaster’s Choice: 5-7 days after roast date
Dark: 3-5 days after roast date
But every bean and person is different so please experiment and find what works for you!
No Pre-Ground Beans?
Unfortunately no. We would love to make your experience as convenient as possible, and while grinding your own beans is firmly in the mildly to very annoying category, we simply can’t do this for you.
The reason being, the second you grind your beans, you expose every nook and cranny to delicious coffee’s nemesis: oxygen. Too much oxygen and your coffee can go stale before you receive it in the post.
As delicious tasting coffee is our most important product we can’t take the risk of sending you a convenient but bland ground beans. Our best advice would be for you to buy a grinder.
