An elegant coffee with satisfying taste and pleasant aroma.

Provenance

Where It Comes From

Lost Dutchman Coffee Roasters product range

This coffee comes from the Igale AMCOS (the local term for a cooperative, abbreviated from Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) in the Mbozi district of Songwe. It is a small start-up operation dedicated to producing specialty grade coffee.

The Igale cooperative recently purchased a new pulper to process their coffee cherries (see image of their new pulper. Since it was their first year using the pulper, they expect to increase local interest and volumes next season.

This is a very limited edition coffee that we hope to get more of when it is harvested again next year. We hope them great success.

Light acidity, dark chocolate notes with rich, creamy body exemplify the traits of this coffee. Try it, you’ll love it, we promise!

The People Behind It

How We Roast It

Espresso machine behind the counter

Small Batch

Roasted to order in small batches. Never left sitting in a warehouse.

Freshness Guarantee

Orders are roasted as fast as we can process them. Every bag that goes out has a roast date label on it.

Master Craft

We roast on Ambex and Probat L12 drum roasters. Their flexible controls are what keep one batch tasting like the last.

Before You Order

Questions

Orders are typically shipped the same day they are roasted. So, it comes down to how fast the Post Office is. They advertise “from 1-5 business days depending on which state you’re located in.” You’ll receive tracking information via email so you can track the package’s progress.

It’s best not to grind the beans until you’re ready to use them, so grind just before you brew. Match the grind to your brewer: coarse for French press, Medium for most drip brewers. For pour overs: Medium to coarse, whichever gives you a four minute brew time (in general). Fine to very fine for espresso depending on your equipment.

Keep it in the bag it came in and put a rubber band around it. Glass containers are not great as the idea is to minimize the air (oxygen) around the beans. Unless completely full, glass containers have too much head room. If storing for up to several months, freezing is a good idea as long as the beans are completely sealed (like in the bags they come in). Studies have shown time and again that freezing, if done right, is a good option.

Currently, subscriptions are limited to a mix of single origin varietals and blends. A single coffee type for the length of the subscription is not an option. You can see how it works on the Coffee Club page.
