Zambia Fruit Punch Black Box

Zambia Fruit Punch comes from Kateshi Estate — one of the first coffee farms ever established in Zambia, founded in 1972 in the country's Northern Province. For decades it served as the central mill for the entire region, and it's been quietly producing award-winning coffee ever since. This naturally processed lot went through extended anaerobic fermentation, which is why the final cup tastes unexpectedly bold, fruity, and unapologetically vibrant.

Our coffees are never flavored. Every note you taste is the natural result of expert cultivation, thoughtful processing, and our precision roasting approach.
