Lake Malawi, Africa's third largest, is called "Lake of Stars" for the twinkle of fishermen's lanters reflecting on the water at night. It's as much a sight to behold as this coffee is a sip to remember. For only the second time we're offering a single origin coffee from Malawi, a country with one of the smallest coffee yields in East Africa. Cultivated and processed with meticulous care, this coffee is graded AA for its premium quality.
This Starbucks Reserve® coffee is available only at select times and stores, so be sure to enjoy it when you can.
