Home to the world’s largest hippo population, Zambia is a rare delight when it comes to fine coffee. In this fruity brew, you’ll taste a spritzer of watermelon and apricot, a twist of citrus. Not just any pot of coffee... a hippopotamus of coffee!

Reviews & Ratings

Alexis Walker	★★★★★	★★★★★ I received this as a sample in my bean box monthly subscription and I was unfortunately not a fan. It was a little bitter and that seemed to linger around in my mouth for a while. Also felt the flavor could have been more intense.
Ilene Samowitz	★★★★★	★★★★★ very tasty single origin espresso. wonderful notes of watermelon and citrusy notes.
Paige	★★★★★	★★★★★ Brewed in my french press. I didn't get a lot of flavor out of this but it does have a faint light fruity apricot note. Crisp and prob best served as a cold coffee.
Nicole	★★★★★	★★★★★ "watermelon, apricot, citrus" - citrus comes through but not overly citrusy like others I have had. Good balance.
Brittany Woolf	★★★★★	★★★★★ A very light roast that did not have a ton of flavor.
Sarah	★★★★★	★★★★★ Rich flavor for a light roast which I liked. But little too tangy and fruity for my tastes.
Joseph D. Gordon	★★★★★	★★★★★ I really liked this one. Such good flavor and easy to drink. A nice smooth flavor with just a wee splash of the freshness of watermelon or that fresh cut summer grass aroma. Really good.
Gregory Svoboda	★★★★★	★★★★★ Love it, came out great in my aeropress and Kalita wave. Smooth and light.
Brenda Poppy	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee has a really nice sweetness to it. None of the fruit flavors seemed to come to the forefront, but it was just generally pleasantly fruity.
Christine Marks	★★★★★	★★★★★ Pretty heavy flavor for such a "light" roast, but I enjoyed it! I didn't think the fruit flavors were overpowering like some of the other reviews, I just got a glimpse of them on the back end, which I thought was nice. But I am thinking of trying this iced like some suggested!
Jesse Scott	★★★★★	★★★★★ I love crispiness; be it displays, fruit, the edge of a well cooked steak... This coffee satisfies that craving to the fullest extent of coffee law.
diane schimpf	★★★★★	★★★★★ i wanted to love it! it sounded so fruity and lovely... it comes across to me as very acidic, which i dont care for. maybe a white wine drinker would love this... i do get a hint of apricot. i think its the citrus that just comes across as acid. although, nice strong flavor for a light roast!
Rebecca	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great coffee, very smooth and rich with light citrus notes. Very good coffe from great roaster. Would buy this coffe again.
Justin Stice	★★★★★	★★★★★ I don't like watermelon but it's usually not an issue with these coffees, with this one however it was all I could taste. I gave this one to a friend who enjoyed it iced so it is enjoyable, I just think you really have to like watermelon to appreciate this blend.
Rachel Burk	★★★★★	★★★★★ Heavy earthy or "dark" flavor for a light roast coffee, but was pleasant with tangy fruity refreshing flavors. Loved the watermelon taste. Would like to try this one iced. It was different but good.
ISABELLE M OUTZEN	★★★★★	★★★★★ Although fruit-forward coffees aren't necessarily my favorite, I do appreciate the variety in the monthly sampler box. This coffee was bright and citrusy, brewed in a french press and need no cream or sugar. Definitely an off-the-beaten path choice.
Connor C	★★★★★	★★★★★ Extremely fruit forward. citrus and watermelon flavors are very strong. Too fruity for me, but still a quality cup of coffee.
Elizabeth Schumacher	★★★★★	★★★★★ Oh my GOD. This was TERRIBLE. So, I usually drink my coffee hot. Warning: YOU MUST DRINK THIS iced. I'm sure the citrus flavor is refreshing as an iced beverage, but drinking a hot beverage that tastes like watermelon? Oh. My. Word. No thank you. I am sure it tastes pleasant though as an iced drink.
David Speer	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great coffee. More a 3.5 for me I guess, but I really enjoyed it. The watermelon and apricot tastes were refreshing and tasty and had a lovely little cream finish. Brewed french press with two filter screens.
Dan Rissi	★★★★★	★★★★★ I liked it because it ha a full body that one may not expect from a light roast. Nice deal.
Heather Rasmussen	★★★★★	★★★★★ Has a full body taste that I was not expecting due to the fact that it is a lighter roast. Good taste, subtle light fruit taste. We like it!
