Cup test performance

The northern coffee is full of aroma, bright acidity, mellow taste, and thanks to the rich volcanic soil, it is as sweet as mineral water.

Southern coffee has rich floral aromas, smooth taste and elegant acidity.

Tanzania is a potential coffee, but sometimes its flavor is not really shown. One reason is that Tanzania does not have the same road infrastructure as Kenya, and coffee in containers ages (or at a high temperature) during transportation. I often drink very good Tanzanian samples, but sometimes I also drink very bad coffee. The problem is that Tanzania only knows that no matter whether the quality is good or bad, they can make a profit from the beans. So what is the motivation for locals to pick and take good care of coffee in time to prevent such defective beans?

Blackburn Estate from Ngorogoro has always been an excellent variety and has the highest evaluation in recent memory. The producing area also has a very good flavor, which is southern coffee with northern genes. The beans of Kibo are bulky and seem to have been cooked at high temperature. The coffee in the south is clean and full, and its mild and unexciting flavor is second only to Kenya. In the past, we had a small batch of coffee beans that represented a step forward compared to other producing areas.

The difference between AA,A,B and Eforce AFMagTT lies in its weight. In grading screening, the machine is screened according to the number of eyes, and there is also something similar to a hairdryer (Air Blast) that blows out the lighter ones. Some students will ask: why do beans that look the same have a big difference in weight? Physical analysis is: light lack of coffee should have the substance (Cantonese: unexpected). How did this happen? It's completely linked to planting. Such as: root protection, appropriate cutting, covering (high vegetation next to coffee trees), fertilization. It seems like raising a child.
