Coffee beans in Tanzania have extraordinary quality. The important producing areas are in the mountains near Kenya in the north. Coffee farmers grow coffee 85% of the total, while local coffee farmers grow coffee at an altitude of 1300-2000m. Its coffee flavor is different from that of neighboring Ethiopia and Kenya. It has two national characteristics, thick body, good fruit and flower aroma, so it is worth a try.

Coffee belongs to dicotyledonous plants. Generally speaking, there are two pairs of coffee seeds in a coffee cherry fruit, which is what we call coffee beans.

Compared with pairofflat-sidedbeans, also known as caracol or caracolillo, it means little snail in Spanish.

The production of round beans, botanically, is said to be due to uneven pollination (Arabica coffee is a self-pollinating plant, and if a coffee flower has only one ovary or only one ovary has successfully pollinated, it can only produce one seed). Or uneven nutrition during growth (usually more likely to occur in the coffee fruit growing at the end of the coffee tree), the nutrients are absorbed by only one of the cotyledons Only the cotyledons that get the nutrients and continue to grow grow into a single oval, oval-shaped coffee seed, hence the name of the round bean.

Normally, the proportion of round beans produced by coffee plants is about 3 to 5%, which is relatively rare, and because the shape and size of coffee beans are different from those of normal coffee (flat) beans, round beans are often singled out and sold independently.
