Description of coffee flavor in Tanzania

The aroma of Tanzanian coffee may have a rugged smell and sometimes the sweetness of black bread. There is a hint of East African wildness in the aftertaste.

Compared with Kenyan coffee, Tanzanian coffee is slightly less acidic and does not match the mild taste. Although fruits and acidity are more low-key, they are still bright. The ground Tanzanian coffee gives off a sweet, molasses aroma with a hint of flowers and apple.

Tanzania roasted coffee

When Tanzanian coffee is given City Roast, it highlights the aroma of herbal flowers, while deeper roasting brings berry and black pepper flavors.

Coffee processing in Tanzania

The overall quality and consistency of green coffee production in Tanzania also lags far behind that of Kenyan coffee. The alcohol content of Tanzanian coffee is comparable to that of Arabian coffee and African coffee.

All coffee in Tanzania is wet-processed (washed). The grading system of Tanzanian coffee is similar to that of Kenyan coffee. Tanzania's AA is the highest, followed by An and B.

Coffee growing area of Tanzania

Tanzania's main coffee-growing areas include Arusha (May), Ramie region (on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro), Oldeani (Arusha region), and cut, the plateau between Lake Taganyika and Lake Nyassa, as well as the Songea Ruvuma region to the southeast of the Tanzanian capital Ruvuma River forms most of the border with the southern part of Mozambique.

Coffee from southern Tanzania tends to benefit from better dry conditions and better transport conditions, which is a big advantage, as much criticism of defective Tanzanian coffee batches comes from container "steaming" in transit. You can also take a look at Tanzania's Peaberry coffee; Tanzania's Kilimanjaro coffee.

The three most distinctive coffee in Tanzania are Moshi, Arusha and Kilimanjaro, all grown on Mount Kilimanjaro near the border between Tanzania and Kenya. Tanzania's high altitude makes almost all its coffee meet strict SHG standards.

Mbeya (the name of a major town) and Pare (a market name) between Lake Niassa and Lake Tanganyika in southern Tanzania are also respected, but less are planted.

Less prominent areas include:

Mbinga

Ruvuma

Iringa

Mara

Morogoro

Mbeya

Tanga

Manyara

Rukwa

Kigoma

Kagera

Bukoba

Mwanza

The fact of Tanzanian coffee

The most common varieties of coffee in Tanzania include bourbon, Typica/Nyara, Blue Mountain and Kent.

Arusha in Tanzania is the market name for a variety of Arusha coffee trees grown in Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. The Arusha variety is an Arabica coffee variety, which is a typical or French mission variety.

Coffee cultivation in Tanzania

It is estimated that about 400000 farm households derive their income from coffee, which accounts for 20 per cent of Tanzania's export earnings. Like the rest of the world, a certain proportion of the coffee beans harvested are small coffee beans, each containing one coffee bean instead of the usual two, which are sold separately as quality coffee beans. A single bean can give full play to its fragrance because it contains the nutrients of two beans rather than one, and beans of a more uniform size give better fragrance during baking.

However, when used in blended coffee, small grains of coffee should be made separately and then mixed with other coffees-this is because different sizes can cause coffee to develop at different rates and may lead to overroasting or underroasting.

Tanzania is the third largest coffee producer in Africa, producing 1% of the world's Arabica coffee. It meets strict high growth (SHG) / strict hard beans (SHB) Arabica, which requires a higher altitude planting area (for example, 1400 to 2000 meters above sea level) than Robusta coffee. Most of the green coffee beans in Tanzania are exported by middlemen and sold by green bean importers to wholesalers and distributors in other countries.
