Front Street-Tanzania Coffee Brand, Brewing Method Share

Coffee cultivation in Tanzania dates back to the 14th century, when coffee was introduced from Ethiopia but was not widely cultivated by the local population. Only some Hajas cook coffee beans with other herbs and use them as stimulants

In the 16th century, German colonists forced different tribes to grow different crops, including Arabica coffee, in order to weaken the control of indigenous tribes. After World War I, Britain replaced Germany as the ruler of Tanzania and expanded coffee cultivation on a large scale.

Tanzania now exports 30,000 - 40,000 tons of coffee every year, of which 70% is Arabica and 30% is Robusta, among which there is Kilimanjaro Coffee, a fine coffee comparable to Blue Mountain Coffee.

The coffee is grown in the Moshi region of the mountain range near Kilimanjaro, 3,000 to 6,000 feet high, where rich volcanic ash gives the coffee its thick texture and soft acidity. Kilimanjaro AA is the highest level of beans, its full particles, pure flavor, rich and refreshing, all aspects of quality are first-class. It is usually milder in acidity than Kenyan coffee and stimulates the taste buds evenly on both sides and the middle of the back of the tongue, feeling a bit like tomato or soda.
