House Filter

We’re thrilled to introduce our new house filter, sourced from a unique and underrepresented origin.

Hailing from Mbala in northern Zambia, Mount Sunzu Coffee sits on a 780-hectare estate with agricultural roots dating back to 1890. Once a mid-1900s coffee farm, the land has been revitalised with solar powered irrigation, soil restoration, and 600 hectares of reforested Miombo forest. Today, 115 hectares are dedicated to coffee cultivation, supported by a washing station, dry mill, raised drying beds, and beekeeping to promote biodiversity. Guided by climate smart and community focused practices, Mount Sunzu employs over 120 full-time and 120 seasonal workers, offering fair wages and benefits, while investing in local infrastructure, renewable energy, and environmental restoration.

Sourced from the Mbala region of Zambia, this House Filter offering is produced by Mount Sunzu Coffee. As a staple selection from Clifton Coffee Roasters, this coffee represents the unique terroir of the Zambian highlands, a region increasingly recognized for its distinct profile and potential in the specialty market. When evaluating the nuances of such a specific origin, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the complex characteristics that emerge during the brewing process.

While every harvest carries its own signature, coffees from this part of Africa are often noted for their vibrant acidity and clean, structured cup profiles. By focusing on the specific output of Mount Sunzu Coffee, this filter roast provides a clear window into the current standards of Zambian production. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this lot serves as an excellent benchmark for exploring the evolving landscape of East African coffee.
