Introduction to the flavor characteristics of coffee Lima AA in southern Tanzania the quality of Kilimanjaro coffee

When it comes to Tanzanian coffee, most people put Mount Kilimanjaro first. Coffee in the northern part of Mount Kilimanjaro is generally found in cafes, so that it can be said that "Mount Kilimanjaro is equivalent to Tanzanian coffee".

This time, coffee is produced in southern Tanzania. I'd like to introduce you to Lima AA Kibo, which is similar to but not similar to northern coffee.

"Lima AA Kibo" is coffee like this.

A fragrant aroma, like baked nuts.

Wet aroma (coffee aroma): heavy fruit aroma with blackcurrant aroma

Flavor: different from northern coffee, it focuses on deep sour and mild, and is easy to drink even for people who don't like sour.

What is coffee in southern Tanzania?

You often hear the name "Mount Kilimanjaro", which is located on the border with Kenya in northern Tanzania.

This mountain has become synonymous with coffee because a large amount of coffee at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro (= northern Tanzania) has been imported into Japan. The place name at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro is coffee, such as "Arusha Ngoro Romosi", which is often seen in the roaster.

The reason why there is so little coffee in southern Tanzania actually has something to do with climate. The foot of Mount Kilimanjaro is rich in water resources, produces high-quality coffee, and is an environment in which high-quality coffee can be produced through washing refining. As a result, quality coffee from the north is sold under the Kilimanjaro brand.

On the other hand, there is a shortage of water in the south and the quality is considered to be lower than that in the north. However, in recent years, the introduction of irrigation equipment and agricultural technology has solved these problems, and now it has become the focus of attention.

The main case this time is AA Kibo in Lima. These are coffee beans Lima bought from the red areas on the map, Mbeya and Mbinga.

It is characterized by a slightly deeper acidity like blackcurrant from the first mouthful. However, it also has a gentle degree and richness, and has a nutty feeling. Since then, the sour taste is hidden behind the smoothness, with a high surface finish and excellent smoothness.

Although it is a kind of sour coffee, it does not have the refreshing taste of Irgachefe, nor is it espresso. The point of Lima is that it is calm and individualistic. Therefore, I give people the impression that even people who are not sour are easy to drink coffee.

Even in the same Tanzania, it has the same elegance as the north (near Mount Kilimanjaro), but the difference is that Lima's soft and tranquil taste is impressive.
