Your guide to Malawi Coffee

  • History of coffee in Malawi

    Coffee trees arrived in Malawi in the late 1800s from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. As the decades progressed, Malawi’s coffee sector grew through intervention by British colonialists, which then ended in 1964 with Malawi’s independence. After this time, conditions improved for Malawian coffee farmers through the implementation of an organisational structure named the ‘Smallholder Coffee Authority’. However, during the 80s and 90s, coffee wilt disease had a detrimental impact on Malawi’s coffee sector, which saw the decline of its industry as it entered into the 21st century. Today, Malawi ranks low as a coffee producing country, and their annual exports figures are hindered by high mortality rates of their crops. The coffee that Malawi does produce however, is enjoyed for its sweet, delicate, floral notes, with hints of spice and liquorice.

  • When is the best time to source Malawi coffee?

    If you are looking to source coffee from Malawi, start planning well before the harvest season begins in April. Harvests can peak depending on the region, so bear this in mind while researching.

  • How to buy and import coffee from Malawi

    If you are looking to buy and import Malawian coffee, you may need to do some deep research to find the right supplier for you. Malawi does not export a lot of coffee compared to some other countries, so it could be worth forging strong relationships with potential suppliers. Reach out to producers either by phone-call or email. If possible, plan a trip to a farm so that you can familiarise yourself with Malawian coffee production. Make sure to check that your suppliers have the correct paperwork and certification. A great initial contact can be the coffee cooperatives within the country, as they will be able to direct you to specific farms.

  • What makes Malawi coffee special?

    While Malawi does not produce a lot of coffee compared to other origin countries, it is known for the excellent quality of its coffee beans. In spite of poor infrastructure and at-risk crops, Malawian coffee offers a unique beverage that reflects the careful production of its smallholder farmers.
