Zambia Mafinga Hills x Kateshi Estate

ABOUT THIS COFFEE

Established in 1972 close to Kateshi village in the Mafinga Hills region, a plateau consisting of fertile volcanic soil. The Kateshi Estate has been recognized for boldly challenging the gender stereotypes in Zambia, being the first and only coffee estate to employ women for traditionally male-dominated roles such as driving tractors and even larger equipment like road graders and bulldozers. A strong focus on gender equality makes this coffee directly contribute to the empowerment of women – and this is not restricted to the farm; the new found sense of independence and pride also spills over into the neighboring communities.
