Coffee provides a livelihood for some 125 million people on this planet- almost the entire population of Japan. Coffee growers work in beautiful locations but many live in poverty. Malawi- known as the “Warm Heart of Africa”- is no exception. Despite being located in the cradle of coffee on the African continent and being home to the oldest tea bushes in Africa, Malawi’s coffee & tea remains relatively unknown.
In addition Malawi remains poor. 51% of the population are children. More than half its people are under-14 years & another 20% are aged between 15-24- that’s a lot of of school age kids. According to the World Fact Book Malawi’s GDP is one of the lowest in the world. The future of Malawi lies with the children who need our support.
The Warm Hearts Coffee Club aim to create a coffee club with a “Warm Heart” – a community of coffee and tea lovers who care for our planet, who want a stronger personal relationship with the coffee farmers and who care how their tea & coffee is grown. Coffee & Tea has always brought people together. The Warm Hearts Coffee Club is no different. We also hope to inspire a culture of giving by using all proceeds generated to provide school meals for hungry children around the world, starting with Malawi, through our partner Seibo Japan and through partnership with like-minded Not-For Profit Organisations.
Malawi has a more recent history of growing coffee.The first coffee was introduced in the 1870s from the Botanical Garden in Edinburgh, Scotland. Initial efforts were hampered by wilt but later stronger varieties such as the Geisha and Agaro were introduced from Ethiopia which make up most of the coffee harvests today- of which 100% of the coffee is Arabica beans. The coffee itself is smooth and full bodied and like all good African coffees slightly floral.
Coffee in Malawi grows in high areas, with elevations starting from 1,000 metres above sea level. It is mainly cultivated in the mountains of the Northern Region, where climate conditions are particularly good for the crop. Planting coffee is also a soil conservation measure in these areas, where erosion is a widespread problem. Coffee is mainly planted by smallholders, so it is often inter-cropped with other species in order to supply food to the household.
