The Story:

Historically Zimbabwe has been the premier coffee origin of southern Africa. This coffee is produced from the admired SL 28 variety, the cultivar of arabica that produces most of Kenya's finest coffees. Leopard Forest is the brand name of a roasting company that features coffees from its own sustainably operated Zimbabwe farm. This coffee, representing the largest beans from the farm's production, won the Taste of Harvest award at the East African Fine Coffee Association 2007 competition.
