When you think of coffee-producing regions in Africa, what countries do you think of? Is Ethiopia the original birthplace of coffee? Is Kenya known for its pleasant coffee acids? Or Rwanda, famous for the floral aroma of coffee? The author does not intend to introduce the above famous coffee producing areas in this article, but wants to introduce the first-class spring of African coffee: Tanzania.

In fact, compared to other Asian countries such as Japan and Korea, it seems that there is very little choice of Tanzanian coffee in the fine coffee market in Hong Kong. About African coffee, you may always have a cup or two of Kenya or Ethiopia, but coffee friends around you always don't know much about Tanzanian coffee, and even surprised that she will produce coffee. If ethiopian coffee is known for its amazing floral aroma and kenyan coffee for its pleasant fruit acids, what about tanzanian coffee?

For example, Coffee Roasters Asia's most recent single coffee, Mount Kilimanjaro round beans from northern Tanzania, does not have as bright an acid smell as Kenya's or Ethiopia's beans, nor does it have as distinct a floral aroma. However, her gentle acidity, like red wine, was sweet and elegant. If roasted in a medium light degree, it has a refreshing and smooth acid, orange fruit fragrance, and sweet mixture of guava and sucrose. With the change of temperature, the flavor will change slightly. It is a very character coffee. If it is roasted deeply, it adds a round layer: the sweet, caramel-like sweet and steady taste of figs, combined with high cleanliness, enhances the overall flavor of coffee.

Tanzania's major coffee growing areas include Arusha on Mount Meru, Moshi on Kilimanjaro, Oldeani (located in Arusha region), Pare, the plateau between Lake Taganyika and Lake Malawi and the Songea region of Ruvuma, southeast of Tanzania's capital, where the Ruvuma River forms most of the southern border with Mozambique.

Tanzania's eastern coastal areas and inland parts of the lowlands belong to the savanna climate, the western inland plateau belongs to the tropical mountain climate, most of the average temperature of 21-25℃. More than 20 islands of Zanzibar have a tropical maritime climate, hot and humid all year round, with an average annual temperature of 26℃.

Rainfall types are divided into bimodal distribution and unimodal distribution. The areas with bi-modal rainfall distribution include the provinces around Lake Victoria Basin, the northeast highlands, the coast and the northeast inland. The bi-modal rainfall distribution area is characterized by two long and short rainy seasons. The short rainy season occurs from September to December, and the total rainfall can reach 200-500 mm. The long rainy season occurs from March to May, and the rainfall can reach 300-600 mm. The areas other than the double pattern rainfall area belong to the single pattern rainfall area. The rainfall time is from November to April, and the rainfall reaches 500-1000 mm.
