Zambia, Lupili Estate AA
A relative new-comer to the world of premium coffee, Zambia has greatly improved their farming techniques and quality. This coffee is rated AA, meaning the biggest, highest grade of coffee that Zambia produces. These beans are a blend of varietals from the top producers, creating a more balanced, consistent flavour.
Zambian coffee works well at lighter roasts, yielding a coffee that has a strong sweetness that gets balanced with a notable lemony aftertaste that doesn’t come off as acidic. Roasting it darker will yield beans that are perfect for espresso, with a full, round body and a classic lemon zest finish.

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 is 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.
