Tanzania AA is the highest grade of beans, its grains are full, pure flavor, rich and refreshing, all aspects of quality are good. Usually it is mildly acidic and evenly stimulates the taste buds in the middle and sides of the back of the tongue, feeling a bit like the sour taste of tomato or soda. After moderate or more moderate baking, it has a strong aroma, then grind it into a fine powder, soak it in a pot of boiling water, invite friends to sit around and taste it, and suddenly feel fragrant and full of tongue. its quality is much better than the instant coffee we often drink. Tanzanian coffee has long been loved by Europeans and has joined the ranks of famous products. Europeans give Tanzanian coffee the nickname "coffee gentleman", and Chinese coffee connoisseurs call it the "coffee swordsman" with the mocha of the "King of Coffee" and the "Lady of Coffee".

Coffee is like the simple, frank and enthusiastic national character of Tanzania. Its refreshing acidity and medium mellowness complement sweet citrus and floral aromas. You can see that different ethnic groups produce different flavors of coffee, while the same land is pregnant with coffee trees and people at the same time. Due to political instability and rampant insect pests, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been damaged, leading to a decline in the overall level and instability of coffee quality, which in turn leads to lower prices, which are usually the result of a further decline in the coffee industry. What's more, it is estimated that more than 12% of the Arabica coffee grown in northern Tanzania from 1969 to 1985 was smuggled into Kenya. Recently, however, the country's coffee industry has shown signs of improving. Although the process of improvement is slow, it is still encouraging because, after all, the quality of coffee in Tanzania is excellent.

In the past, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been dominated by manor cultivation, but now more than 85% are grown by small farmers. Many small farmers are combined into cooperative organizations, the most important of which is the Kilimanjaro Cooperative Alliance (Kilimanjaro Cooperative Union, referred to as KNCU). Tanzanian coffee is sold by the Tanzanian Coffee Management Council (Tanzanian Coffee Marketing Board, TCMB) to private exporters by auction. In the 1980s, most coffee sales in Tanzania changed from auctions to being sold directly to the coffee management committee of Tanzania. Now that situation has changed, and the coffee industry is being reformed to allow individuals or groups to buy coffee in the future. At that time, coffee will have to be graded in different ways.
