Journey to the Heart of Tanzanian Coffee Excellence – Tanzania, a land where the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro stretches across fertile lands, is home to our exquisite Tanzanian Peaberry coffee. This selection represents the zenith of Tanzanian coffee cultivation, where the unique terroir and innovative farming practices converge to produce a coffee that is as distinctive as it is delicious.
The Kilimanjaro Plantation Estate, alongside small cooperative farmers in the Mbeya region, serves as the cradle for this coffee. Between 2000 and 2005, the estate embarked on an ambitious project to plant 1 million new coffee trees, each connected to a state-of-the-art drip irrigation system. This ensures that every tree receives the perfect amount of water, a vital factor in the cultivation of high-quality Arabica beans. Moreover, the transition to a central wet mill has elevated processing standards, guaranteeing consistently high-quality output while reducing water consumption.
Our Tanzanian Peaberry coffee, characterized by its medium-light roast, shines with a spectrum of flavors. The peaberry, a unique bean that forms when a coffee cherry develops a single, rounded seed, is known for its concentrated flavors. This coffee offers a symphony of fruity notes including cranberry and lemon/lime from the Kilimanjaro region, complemented by pear, floral, jasmine, and strawberry from the cooperative farms of Mbeya. The result is a cup with bright acidity and a rounded body, a testament to the fertile soils and careful cultivation practices of Tanzania.
Indulging in this coffee is more than a mere act of consumption; it’s an exploration of Tanzania’s rich coffee culture and a tribute to the dedication of its farmers. From the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to the rolling hills of Mbeya, every sip tells a story of tradition, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of coffee perfection.
As you enjoy our Tanzanian Peaberry coffee, let it transport you to the heart of Tanzania, where the spirit of the land infuses every bean with extraordinary flavors. This coffee is an invitation to experience the essence of Tanzania, to celebrate the art of coffee cultivation, and to savor the unique qualities that only Tanzanian Peaberry can offer.
