In the past, the coffee varieties commonly used in Tanzania were Bourbon (N.39) and Kents (KP 423). However, due to their low insect resistance and disease resistance, the quality of the coffee produced could not meet the requirements of high-quality coffee, not to mention the world-famous UTZ and Fair trade certification. With the introduction of new techniques and varieties for the cultivation of coffee beans, farmers in the coffee producing areas of southern Tanzania prefer to use the improved varieties of Tanzanian coffee beans, SC3,SC11 and SC 14.
