Kateshi

Kateshi Estate
NORTHERN PROVINCE, ZAMBIA

Prosecco, Blackberry, White Tea

This is a coffee for the adventurous.

We’re excited to introduce a standout offering from Zambia’s Kateshi Coffee Estate—a vibrant anaerobic natural that shows just how expressive and fun this processing style can be. Extended anaerobic fermentation brings sparkling, fruit-forward flavors with a touch of wildness.

Expect notes of Prosecco, blackberry, and white tea—bright and lively up front, layered with juicy fruit and a soft, tea-like finish. It’s a dynamic cup that continues to evolve as it cools, pulling you back in sip after sip.

Established in 1972, Kateshi was one of Zambia’s first coffee estates and remains an award-winning producer, with natural and honey coffees placing 1st and 2nd in the country’s annual Taste of Harvest competition. Since 2012, importer Covoya and its parent company have invested heavily in the estate, helping rebuild Zambia’s coffee sector while making Kateshi part of the country’s largest coffee-producing group and one of its largest employers.

Community impact is central to the estate’s work—from providing clean drinking water to 20,000+ people, supporting three local schools, and operating the only health clinic within a 30km radius, to leading the way in gender equity by employing women in traditionally male-dominated roles.

This coffee is a celebration of what’s possible when innovation, investment, and community come together.
