East Africa is the producer of many fine coffees, including Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, etc. Tanzania is another good coffee producer in East Africa, and many people are impressed by the sweet and fragrant Kighoma beans of Tanzania.

Coffee is the largest crop in Tanzania. About 450000 people are engaged in coffee-related agriculture. Due to its proximity to Kenya, the flavor of Tanzanian coffee tends to be similar to that of Kenyan coffee, but because of inconvenient transportation and backward basic coffee equipment, coffee is often contaminated during transportation or damaged due to insufficient equipment in the treatment process, resulting in a bad impression of Tanzanian coffee. It is thought that the overall sour quality of Tanzanian coffee is less fresh and less strong, but in the past two years, the southern Ruvuma producing area near the Indian Ocean has convenient transportation conditions, coupled with the contract with European and American raw bean merchants to place the order before releasing the coffee to ensure the quality of the coffee.

The main tree species of coffee in Tanzania is Arabica. The coffee beans are treated by natural washing. The coffee grade is the same as that in Kenya, and the AAA grade is the best. There are two kinds of pipes for coffee sales, auction and direct sale. In the new season, coffee produced by Ruvuma production area is introduced. Coffee raw beans show emerald green, coffee particles with uniform size and high uniformity have a better semicircle shape than Kenya AA grade.
