Growing Coffee in Zimbabwe

Until recently coffee from Zimbabwe had been a rare commodity, the countries distribution network was poor and only occasionally did we see any of this product make its way west. With the political pressures easing on the country, small yields of this rare gem has been sold to Europe and here at Bean Brothers we are proud to announce it as a welcome addition to our portfolio.

Growing in the Eastern Highlands of the country, 1100m above sea level may not seem that high, however, plantations that are situated further south of the equator do not require such high altitudes for the beans to grow and develop their flavours. Although Zimbabwe experiences a long dry season between May-October, the Pezuru Estate plantation is located near the Chiremba Dam which irrigates the land all year round.

These green beans are one of the most consistent beans we have ever roasted, with its uniformity showing through even more once they are roasted. This consistency is down to the meticulous farm management and high quality picking - whereby only the ripe cherries are selected at each visit to the crop during harvest.
