East Africa is the producer of many fine coffee, including Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda and so on. Tanzania is another country in East Africa that produces good coffee.

Tanzania's round beans are definitely the icing on the cake for coffee produced in Tanzania.

Round beans (Peaberries) are actually a variety of coffee beans. The scientific name, also known as "caracol", "caracolillo", belongs to Spanish, which means little snail. Botanically, there are two possible reasons for the emergence of round beans: 1. Uneven pollination, 2. Nutrition is uneven in the process of growth. Rather than split into two seeds in half, the seed inside the plant does not split, so it presents a complete oval grain of an round bean. Is this common? Generally speaking, the yield of round beans is about 50% of that of flat beans. Round beans are also found in other coffee-producing countries in Africa, such as Kenya. But in the case of Tanzania, only about 5% to 10% of the fruits in local coffee production are in the shape of round beans. And the size of round beans is less than flat beans, in the process of treatment will also be screened by the net, separated from flat beans will be singled out for sale. Compared with flat beans, round beans are very rare and precious.

In terms of taste, the flavor of round beans is better, or that of flat beans is better? As a matter of fact, there is no conclusion on this, and many people are still discussing this issue. It is true that the emergence of round beans is a defect in the growth of coffee cherries, but some people think that it is reasonable that all nutrients are stored in smaller round beans, which concentrate more nutrients than ordinary flat beans, and have a more prominent flavor, sweeter and richer flavor.

Gourmet coffee has soft acidity and attractive aroma, which is absolutely worth enjoying. Coffee exports from Tanzania (Tanzania) play an important role in the whole national economy. Bean-shaped berry coffee is very productive and is said to be more fragrant than ordinary coffee. Generally speaking, the coffee beans in Tanzania have an extraordinary quality. For example, the fine Tanzanian AA coffee (Chagga AA), produced in the Moshi district near Mount Kilimanjaro, is famous for its full-grained and fragrant quality.

Due to political instability and rampant diseases and insect pests, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been damaged, resulting in a decline in the overall level of coffee and instability in quality, which in turn lead to lower prices, which is usually the result of a further decline in the coffee industry. What's more, it is estimated that more than 12% of the Arabica coffee grown in northern Tanzania from 1969 to 1985 was smuggled into Kenya. Recently, however, the country's coffee industry has shown signs of improving. Although the process of improvement is slow, it is still encouraging because, after all, the quality of coffee in Tanzania is excellent.

The sweet citrus fruit aroma and flavor of Tanzanian coffee make you feel the flavor of orange and grapefruit. In fact, Tanzanian coffee is very similar to Kenyan coffee, both coffee emit African acidity and citrus aroma. On the other hand, Tanzanian coffee has a unique aroma of raisins, which gives an extraordinarily complex and multi-layered flavor. Taste Tanzanian coffee with Kenyan coffee to feel the natural taste of coffee.

If the flower smell of Ethiopian coffee is amazing, and Kenyan coffee is famous for its acidity, how to describe Tanzanian coffee?

In terms of round beans from Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania, it is true that compared with coffee beans from Kenya or Ethiopia, this coffee is neither as sour as Kenya nor as fragrant as Ethiopia. However, her soft and gentle acidity is as sweet and elegant as red wine. If it is roasted in a medium and light degree, its refreshing and smooth acid, orange fruit aroma, and sweet mixed with guava and sucrose, the flavor will change slightly with the change of temperature, so it is a kind of coffee with great character. If baked deeply, there will be an extra round layer: the sweetness of figs, the sweet and steady taste of caramel, and the high cleanliness will enhance the overall flavor of the coffee.
