Details
Malawi Peaberry comes from Sable Farming Company, the largest producer of high-quality washed Arabica coffee in Malawi. Since the 1970s, Sable has cultivated thriving coffee farms across its three estates—Mapanga, Chipale, and the remote Ngapani—where select varietals like Catimor, SL28, Caturra, and Ruiru 11 grow in rich soils and are sundried on raised beds for consistent, even processing. Harvested between June and September and processed through December, Sable’s coffees regularly earn top scores in AFCA's Taste of Harvest competitions, celebrated for their clean, balanced flavors. To maintain healthy, productive farms for the future, Sable raises its own coffee seedlings in-house at Ngapani to support ongoing replanting programs and preserve the quality of their crops for years to come.
But Sable’s impact reaches far beyond the coffee itself. Employing over 1,800 people from nearby communities, Sable invests deeply in the wellbeing of its workers and neighbors—offering free medical care through onsite clinics, maintaining vital roads and bridges, fueling local police patrols, and even operating an ambulance service for the remote Ngapani estate. Their commitment to sustainability runs just as deep, applying over a million kilograms of compost annually, planting cover crops to prevent erosion, and using drip irrigation to conserve water. With every cup of this peaberry coffee, you're supporting a company that is just as dedicated to people and the planet as they are to producing exceptional coffee.
