Malawi

Landlocked in southeastern Africa, Malawi’s coffee history dates back to the 1800s. It is said that a single coffee tree was brought from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh by Dr. John Buchanan, a Scottish missionary. For much of the 20th century, African ownership of coffee farms was limited, as Malawi remained under British rule until 1964. Today, coffee production in Malawi remains modest. Despite its low profile in the coffee world, Malawi stands out for its exceptional quality, offering a clean, sweet, and complex cup.
