Today’s post is very special and I’m super excited to share it with you! Lots of delicious coffee-themed recipes are going live today all around the blogosphere, for a very special cause. I’m taking part in this virtual blog party organized by the lovely and super-talented Kimberly, London-based blogger and food photographer behind the gorgeous blog The Little Plantation

Kimberly reached out to me and a whole bunch of other food bloggers from across the world, inviting us to take part into this special event in order to raise awareness for Malawian coffee. Malawi, known as “The Warm Heart of Africa”, is one of the poorest countries in the world. It has a shockingly high poverty rate. Every day, Malawians are facing countless life-threatening challenges, including malnutrition, hunger, disease, drought, and an overall lack of resources

Very few people think of Malawi as a coffee-producing country. But the country’s economy mainly revolves around agriculture, including coffee production. Their coffee is of very high quality – the problem is it is very hard to source. Roasters rarely carry Malawian coffee, mainly because there is not much consumer demand for it. The main reason for this low demand is that people are simply not aware of it. Their coffee is not as famous as other African coffees and Malawian coffee producers don’t have the marketing budget south American coffee-producing countries have, making it very hard for them to showcase their delicious coffee
