Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

The main varieties of coffee grown in Tanzania are Arabica and Robusta. Many people know that coffee, which grew up in the Kilimanjaro volcano, has long been known as the "King of Coffee" Blue Mountain and the "Lady of Coffee" Mocha and is called the "Coffee three Musketeers".

Mount Kilimanjaro, which is 5895 meters above sea level and connected to Mount Meru, is the highest peak on the African continent and the only snowy peak on the equatorial line on earth, known as the "roof of Africa". The rich volcanic ash on the mountain gives the coffee here a strong texture and soft acidity, making it have the characteristics of typical African coffee beans. Kilimanjaro AA is the highest grade of coffee beans, medium or above roasted with a strong aroma, suitable for individual coffee.

Tanzania is close to Kenya, so the shape of Kilimanjaro coffee is similar to Kenyan coffee. But it is not as clear and divergent acidity as Kenya AA, but gives a softer, more refreshing feeling, with wine and fruit aromas, endless aftertaste, it can be said that the pure Kilimanjaro coffee is "the most African coffee".

Flavor and taste characteristics: soft acidity, attractive aroma.

Tanzanians still maintain a lot of coffee tradition, and most of the time they collect ripe and fallen fruit under coffee trees, which will somewhat damage the quality of coffee. They have been using the sun method to treat the coffee beans, rarely using the water washing method, which allows the coffee beans to absorb the aromatic substances of the flesh, so the fruit flavor is stronger.

Produced in the Mohi district near Mount Kilimanjaro, the mountain area with a height of 3,000 to 6,000 feet is the best place to grow coffee, where fertile volcanic ash gives the coffee a strong texture and soft acidity. It exudes delicate aromas and contains aromas of wine and fruit, making people taste endless aftertaste. After drinking Kilimanjaro coffee, I always feel a soft and mellow earthy smell around my mouth. Coffee gourmets often use words such as "wild" or "wild" to describe it. It can be said that pure Kilimanjaro coffee is "the most African coffee". Kilimanjaro AA is the highest grade of beans, its grains are full, pure flavor, rich and refreshing, all aspects of quality are good. It is usually more acidic than Kenya coffee and evenly stimulates the taste buds in the middle and sides of the back of the tongue, feeling a bit like the sour taste of tomato or soda. After moderate or more moderate baking, it has a strong aroma, then grind it into a fine powder, soak it in a pot of boiling water, and invite friends to sit around and taste it. The famous coffee brands in Tanzania are Africafe, Tanica Cafe, Kilimanjaro and so on, and their quality is much better than the Nestle coffee we often drink.
