The Roast Of Christmas Past
A single-origin, washed Christmas coffee from Zambia.
-----
This coffee has come to us from Zambia which is situated on the very edge of the bean belt. Mount Sunzu is a Swiss company using cutting edge technologies paired with deep rooted values to produce sustainable, high-quality and socially and environmentally responsible coffee. A Hybrid originating from a cross between Marsellesa and an Ethiopian or Sudanese Landrace, this washed Starmaya is produced at the foot of Zambia's highest mountain and benefits from the perfect climatic conditions, ensuring expectational quality. The flavour profile for this incredible coffee is a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness, expect notes of Bramble Fruits and Dark Chocolate.

I’ve been really excited about this coffee landing since I cupped it earlier in the year. I don’t often see Zambian coffee knocking around so, naturally, I scooped some of this up at the first chance I got! With this being a washed fermented coffee, I’ve found that it shines on pour over. It has a fantastic balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness which leans towards its fascinating complexity – i.e. it’s a damn good time.
I have also found this works well on espresso for those who enjoy a slightly more refined espresso drinking experience.
