Your guide to Malawi coffee beans for home roasting

  • What is the flavour profile of Malawian coffee?

    Malawian coffee has got a medium body and acidity, creating a well-balanced cup. Expect a natural sweetness with notes of florals, spices like liquorice, dried fruits, and a hint of chocolate.

  • Where is coffee grown in Malawi?

    Most Malawian coffee comes from the southern regions like Mangochi, Mulanje, Zomba, and Thyolo, where higher altitudes and warm temperatures create ideal growing conditions. There are also about 4,000 smallholder farms in the north and centre of the country, each growing fewer than 200 coffee plants. Over the years, Malawi has focused on producing better-tasting, higher-yield coffee, making it a hidden gem in East African coffee.

  • How can I roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home is easier than you might think. You can use a stovetop popcorn maker, an oven, or a home roasting machine. Start by preheating your equipment, then stir the beans consistently for an even roast. As they roast, you’ll hear cracks that mark the stages—light roasts bring out bright, fruity notes, while darker roasts are bold and rich. Once you’ve hit your perfect roast, cool the beans quickly to lock in their flavour. Need a step-by-step guide? Check out our blog, How to start roasting coffee at home: all your questions answered!
