Introduction to the Flavor characteristics of Tanzania Coffee

Due to political instability and rampant diseases and insect pests, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been damaged, resulting in a decline in the overall level of coffee and instability in quality, which in turn lead to lower prices, which is 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 coffee management committees in Tanzania, 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 to attract buyers from Germany, Finland, Belgium and Japan.
