MALAWI COMMUNITY LOT

Our Malawi Community Lot is a single-origin specilaty coffee where we worked directly with the farmers on the processing. Our work together resulted in a versatile omni-roast coffee that works well with a variety of brewing methods. The combination of dark chocolate, grapes and a juicy body similar to biting into a pear, provides a refreshing experience for the palate. This coffee has quickly become one of our most popular coffees in the UAE.

RADICAL TRANSPARENCY

KNOW YOUR LOT

Every number — and every note — behind this coffee, published. Tap a metric to see what it means and why it matters.

Origins

Where this coffee comes from

Malawi is an emerging East African coffee origin with a smaller, more distinctive presence in the global specialty coffee landscape. Its growing coffee culture reflects the country’s unique agricultural heritage and environment.

Region

Where within the origin it was grown

Located in northern Malawi, Rumphi is an important coffee-growing region known for its mountainous terrain and favorable growing conditions. The region forms part of Malawi’s smaller but distinctive specialty coffee landscape.

Producer

Who grew or produced this coffee

We work directly with smallholder farmers at origin, collaborating closely on processing and quality to bring out the best in their coffee. This hands-on partnership gives us greater involvement from farm to cup while supporting the people behind each harvest.

Variety

The coffee variety grown / What this blend is made from

Catimor is a coffee variety developed by crossing Timor Hybrid with Caturra, valued for its resilience and ability to produce good-quality coffee across a range of growing conditions.

Altitude

How high this coffee was grown

Grown at 1,500 metres above sea level, the cooler conditions at this elevation slow coffee cherry development, allowing more time for complexity and character to develop in the cup.

Process

How the coffee was processed after harvest

In natural processing, coffee cherries are dried whole with the fruit still surrounding the seed. This extended contact with the fruit often produces sweeter, fruit-forward flavours and a fuller, more expressive cup.

Roast Level

How far we developed the roast

A medium roast aims to balance the coffee’s natural character with sweetness and body developed during roasting. It creates a rounded, approachable cup while still allowing the coffee’s inherent qualities to come through.

Preferred Extraction

How we think this coffee shines best

This coffee is roasted to perform well across both espresso and filter brewing, offering enough structure and intensity for espresso while retaining the clarity and character needed for filter.

A SMALL ORIGIN WITH A BIG HEART
Behind the Coffee

A SMALL ORIGIN WITH A BIG HEART

The Brew Crew's connection to Malawi is actually through our past in agro-commodities. We used to always visit Malawi for the trade of pigeon peas and seasme seeds. Being in the market, we knew that coffee was being produced but in very small quanttities and at that time, we were not even in the coffee business. So when we were establishing The Brew Crew, we wanted to have an origin that no one had. Somethin new, something unqiue and thats when we went back to Malwai with another purpose.

In the hills of Phoka, Rumphi was where the coffee was grown, but no one had a clue what was specialty. They ony knew commerical coffee. So we started to work from scratch and work with farmers to start eductaing them about farming, processing, sustainable practices, fair pricing etc. Our first year was tough and we barely prodcued some coffee but it was progress. Since then, we started to double down by investing in African drying beds, setting up a QC lab, hulling plant etc. In essence, we decide to make this origin our baby and establish a famiy-like bond wth the smallholder farmes of Rumphi.

After 3 years of hard work, we are proud to have helped produce specialty-grade arabica that we’re genuinely proud to put alongside coffees from more established origins The cup is sweet, smooth and round. Well-balanced wih with fruity and chocolatey notes. This coffees has now become one of our bestsellers and is core to us at The Brew Crew
