Coffee from the Zimbabwe Enhoek Estate


Four Beans carries coffee from the Enhoek Estate in Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia. Zimbabwe has been exporting coffee to the United States for some years. It is a wet-processed coffee, grown on approximately 130 commercial farmers and almost 2 000 small-scale farmers. Most growers are in the mountainous Chipinge region in eastern Zimbabwe, bordering Mozambique. 

The flavor profile is described as similar to the acidy, winy-toned coffees of the other countries of East Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya). The coffee has medium body and a full rich flavor culminating in a heavenly aftertaste.

As in Ethiopia and Kenya, the coffee is meticulously hand picked, fermented and sun dried on the farm, before being graded and bagged for export.
