One of Zambia's oldest coffee estates, Kateshi combines decades of production experience with modern processing to create vibrant, fruit-driven coffees. This anaerobic natural undergoes an extended sealed fermentation before drying on raised beds, producing a juicy cup layered with red raspberry, caramelized pineapple, and sparkling prosecco-like acidity while maintaining a remarkably clean finish.

About Kateshi Estate

Established in 1972 near Kasama in Zambia's Northern Province, Kateshi was one of the country's first coffee estates. Since 2012, the estate has undergone significant investment to modernize infrastructure and improve both quality and sustainability.

Beyond coffee production, Kateshi supports the surrounding community through three local schools, the only healthcare clinic within a 30-kilometer radius, and clean drinking water for more than 20,000 people. The estate also actively promotes women in technical and heavy equipment roles, helping create new opportunities within the region.
