You may ask, what are the advantages or particularities of the growth conditions of Kilimanjaro Mountain Coffee? This is because Mount Kilimanjaro is not only the highest mountain in Africa, but also the second largest crater in the world. Friends who have read the Coffee Roasters Asia blog or have done a lot of research on coffee should know that volcanic ash soil is an excellent nourishment for coffee beans.

In addition, Africa always gives the impression that the temperature is hot and the humidity is dry all the year round. This is really a big misunderstanding. Take Mount Kilimanjaro as an example. Although the temperature in the mountain can be as high as 59 degrees Celsius, the peak can be covered with snow all the year round, up to minus 34 degrees Celsius, so Mount Kilimanjaro is also known as the "equatorial snow peak." In terms of rainfall, the annual precipitation in the river valley can reach 800mm to 900mm; the mountains are cool and rainy, with an annual rainfall of 1600 to 1800 mm on the windward slope. Grow in the climatic and geographical environment provided by the "equatorial snow peak"

Soft and gentle acidity, but like red wine, more sweet and elegant. 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.
