Flavour notes

About this coffee

Origin

Sourced from two farms located in the beautiful Northern province of Zambia. Both farms play a role in producing the fully washed coffee, while the fermentation process is exclusively carried out in one farm.

Roasting

The roast is divided between fermented and non-fermented beans. The overall roast level is medium, with the fermented portion being lighter. This split allows the fruity aromatics of the fermented beans to be preserved.

Summary of what people say: This Original Line single-origin espresso has a sweet, earthy profile and relatively gentle acidity. It can be especially appealing hot, and some drinkers find it more enjoyable and less acidic than La Cumplida Refinada; the earthy character may divide palates.

  • Sweet profile with earthy depth
  • Can work particularly well hot
  • Less acidic than La Cumplida Refinada for some drinkers
  • The earthy character can be polarising
  • Its unusual profile may not suit every palate
  • More rewarding hot than in a large diluted drink

Common questions

What is the intensity of Zambia?

Zambia has an intensity of 7 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Espresso (40 ml) cup size.

Which machines does Zambia fit?

Zambia is an Original-line capsule and fits Original machines. It does not fit Vertuo machines, which use a different capsule shape.

Is Zambia a capsule or a coffee pod?

Both words describe the same thing. The manufacturer calls them capsules, and English-language stores also say coffee pods; Zambia is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Zambia pods" and "Zambia capsules" will find the same coffee.

What cup size is Zambia brewed at?

Storefronts list Zambia at more than one size: Espresso (40 ml), Lungo (110 ml).

When was Zambia on sale?
