The coffee cultivation in Zimbabwe is
mostly Arabica, of the Blue Mountain variety. Zimbabwe's share of
world production is 0.17 of one per cent, but this in real terms is
the equivalent of about 174,000 bags, as Zimbabwe ships its coffee
in containers. Out of several regions of cultivation, the best, and
most, coffee comes from Chipinga area. The grading is by cup quality
and is numbered from one to ten, one being a "fine, well-balanced
cup". The taste of some of the best can be described as having good acidity, medium body and pleasant aroma, phrases reminiscent of the profiles of coffees from Malawi and Tanzania. |
