Kaphiy SUNZU ORQO (ZAMBIA) Bohnen 350g

Microlot SUNZU ORQO 60 ZAM.STARMAYA.FIL

Experience the vibrant elegance of a Natural Arabica coffee from the Mount Sunzu Coffee Farm in Zambia. This Starmaya coffee grows at around 1600 metres above sea level in Mbala, at the foot of Zambia’s highest mountain, in a mountainous landscape with sandy soils formed from eroded granite and quartz.

In the cup, this coffee reveals a clear, fruity sweetness with notes of red berries, orange, caramel and honey. Its silky mouthfeel and balanced structure make it particularly elegant for filter coffee, French press and Bialetti.

The Mount Sunzu Coffee Farm combines Swiss precision with Zambian authenticity. Through innovative cultivation methods, selective hand-picking and consistently sustainable agriculture, the ecological footprint is reduced, while transparency, traceability and high coffee quality remain at the centre.

Recommendation for the preparation of filter coffee

Grinding level:

Medium coarse, similar to coarse sand. This grind allows for a balanced extraction when filter brewing.

Dosage:

Use 15–18 grams of coffee per 250 ml (8 oz) of water. Adjust to taste – use more coffee for a stronger flavor and less for a milder cup

Water temperature:

About 200 °F (93 °C). This temperature is ideal for filter coffee and brings out the delicate flavors of the coffee without over-extracting it.

Brewing time:

Aim for a total brewing time of 3-4 minutes, depending on your preferred method (pour-over, drip, or immersion).

Tips:

Before brewing, rinse your filter with hot water to remove any paper taste and preheat the brewing vessel. Pour the water evenly over the grounds in slow, circular motions to ensure even extraction. Allow the coffee to brew for 30 seconds, adding just enough water to saturate the grounds before continuing to pour.

This method highlights the coffee's natural flavors and produces a clean, balanced cup with subtle acidity and rich undertones.
