Name of Kilimanjaro:

Tanzania consists of Tanganyika (mainland) and Zanzibar (island), with a total territorial area of more than 945000 square kilometers (of which Zanzibar is 2657 square kilometers).

It is located in eastern Africa, south of the equator, bordered by Kenya and Uganda in the north, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique in the south, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the west, and the Indian Ocean in the east. The Kibo peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in the northeast is 5895 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Africa.

The eastern coastal areas and some inland lowlands have a savanna climate, while the western inland plateau has a tropical mountain climate, which is cool and dry. The average temperature in most areas is 2125 ℃. More than 20 islands in Zanzibar have a tropical maritime climate, hot and humid all the year round, with an annual average temperature of 26 ℃.

A hundred years ago, coffee seeds were introduced to Tanzania by European missionaries. The soil at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro is mixed with volcanic ash, rich in mineral elements, weakly acidic, porous, permeable and breathable, so it is very suitable for growing coffee. Coffee farms here are about 1000-1400 meters above sea level. Bentai from Germany has been growing coffee in Moxi for 27 years. She said that due to the topography of Mount Kilimanjaro, there is a great temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the growth and photosynthesis of coffee trees. Coffee beans will be able to store more sugar and nutrients, and the beans will be more compact and sweeter.

Located on the border between Tanzania and Kenya, Mount Kilimanjaro is 5895 meters high. It is the highest peak in Africa and the largest freestanding mountain in the world. Swahili "Kilimanjaro" means a shining mountain or a bright and beautiful mountain. Standing on a rolling plain not far from the Indian Ocean, known as the extraordinary roof, it is the highest peak on the African continent. The most special thing is that it is the only snow peak on the earth located on the equatorial line, so it is called Snow White on the equator.

Kilikmanjaro coffee

Kilimanjaro Coffee (Kilikmanjaro Coffee) is produced in Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa in northeastern Tanzania. The fertile volcanic ash gives the coffee here a deep texture and soft acidity, with the characteristics of typical African coffee beans, with high quality in all aspects. Its coffee quality is good, its strong aroma, outstanding sour taste, but also very suitable for the preparation of comprehensive coffee.

The coffee producing areas in Tanzania are Moshi, Mbeya and other producing areas around the foothills of Kilimanjaro in the north, and the Songea-Ruvuma area where the Ruvuma river flows to the south. The style is slightly different due to the different growth topography. The coffee produced in the Ruvuma region of southwestern Tanzania has wine and fruit aromas, which is different from the coffee near Mount MtKilimanjaro in the north.

Kilimanjaro coffee, one of the top representatives of Tanzania's AA coffee beans, is bred by volcanic ash and made by nature. The coffee has a unique cocoa fruit aroma and a strong glycolic degree.
