Gourmet coffee is soft in acidity, inviting in aroma and an absolute value treat.

Tanzania's coffee exports occupy an important position in the overall national economy. Bean berry coffee is produced in large quantities and is said to be stronger than regular coffee. Generally speaking, Tanzanian coffee beans are of exceptional quality. For example, the finest Tanzanian Chagga AA coffee produced in the Moshi region near Kilimanjaro is known for its full-grain, aromatic quality.

Political instability and pest infestation have disrupted Tanzania's coffee industry, leading to a decline in overall coffee levels and instability in quality, which in turn has led to lower prices, which usually lead to further declines in the coffee industry. More notably, it is estimated that more than 12 percent of the Arabica coffee grown in northern Tanzania between 1969 and 1985 was smuggled into Kenya. However, coffee in the country has recently shown signs of improvement. Although the progress is slow, it is encouraging because Tanzania's coffee is of excellent quality.

In the past, Tanzania's coffee industry has been dominated by plantation cultivation, but now more than 85% is cultivated by smallholders. Many small farmers have organized themselves into cooperative organizations, the most important of which is the Kilimanjaro Cooperative Union (KNCU). Tanzanian coffee is sold at auction by the Tanzanian Coffee Marketing Board (TCMB) to private exporters. In the 1980s, most coffee sales in Tanzania shifted from auctions to direct sales to Tanzania's Coffee Marketing Board. This has changed. The coffee industry is being reformed to allow individuals or groups to buy coffee in the future. Coffee will also be graded in different ways to attract buyers from Germany, Finland, Belgium and Japan.
