Malawi Gold Coffee – Mzuzu Region
Malawi Gold coffee from the Mzuzu region is a standout in the world of East African coffees. Grown in the northern highlands near the Nyika Plateau and Viphya Mountains, Mzuzu coffee benefits from high elevations (1,200–2,000 meters), volcanic soils, and a cool, misty climate—ideal for slow bean maturation and complex flavor development.
Region: Mzuzu, Northern Malawi
Cooperative: Mzuzu Coffee Planters Cooperative Union (MCPCU)
Number of Farmers: ~3,000 smallholder farmers, many of whom grow coffee on less than one hectare of land
Altitude: 1,200–2,000 masl
Varieties: Catimor, SL28, Nyika (a local cultivar)
Processing: Fully washed and sun-dried
Malawi Gold coffee beans are typically:
Medium-sized with a uniform screen size
Dense and hard, due to high elevation growth
Bright and clean, thanks to meticulous wet processing
Noted for vibrant acidity, tea-like body, and floral complexity
