Introduction of Tanzania coffee beans with bright acidity and wild flavor

Tanzania promotes the people to drink coffee.

Tanzania is a famous coffee producer in the world. Due to the current low domestic consumption in Tanzania, the government is calling on people to drink at least twice as much coffee every day for the next five years to boost domestic sales.

Premers Kimayo, director of the quality and Promotion Department of the Tanzania Coffee Council, the national agency, told Reuters on the 14th: "because of the colonial history of Tanzania, today's social elites are learning from the British to drink tea." But I would like to appeal to all Tanzanians to drink more of our own coffee. "

The Tanzania Coffee Committee believes that at this stage, the proportion of 7% of coffee sold in Tanzania is too low and should be increased to 15% by 2014, so as to reduce the impact of international market demand on the Tanzanian coffee market.

Kimayo believes that Tanzanians should drink twice as much coffee every day for the next five years.

The Tanzania Coffee Council (TCB) has identified six new areas as coffee growing areas, bringing the total number of coffee growing areas in the country to 13 to meet the target of 100000 tons of coffee production in 2020. Adolf, chairman of TCB. Kunburu said that the staff of the council stationed in various producing areas will provide services to farmers and guide them to plant new varieties developed by the Tanzania Coffee Institute.

Tanzania currently produces 50,000 tons of coffee a year, making it the fourth largest coffee producer in Africa. Due to the sharp rise in international coffee prices last year, Tanzania is eager to increase its coffee production through various measures. According to data provided by the International Coffee Organization (ICO), in December last year, the ICO coffee price composite index [1985.54 0.27%] reached its highest point of 184.26 cents / pound since 1994. In November last year, world coffee exports reached 7.6 million packets, an increase of 900000 packets over the same period in 2009. Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania ("Kilima" means mountain, "Zaro" means radiant) is 5895 meters above sea level and is connected to Mount Mt.Meru. It is the main coffee production base in Tanzania. Moshi and Alesha, located on the southern slope of Mount Meilu, also produce a large number of high-quality coffee beans. Eighty-five percent of Tanzanian coffee is grown on small farms.

When coffee produced in these regions is sold on the international market, the trademark is usually "Pride of Kilimanjaro (Pride of Kilimanjaro)", "Peaks of Kilimanjaro (Top of Kilimanjaro)", "Tanzania Moses" or "Tanzania Alesha".

After Jesuit introduced bean fruit to Europe in 1893, "Tanzania bean fruit" began to attract attention from all walks of life. For some reason, the yield of "bean fruit" in Tanzania is higher than that of ordinary coffee. In the international market, there are more products with the words "Tanzania beans and fruits" than the products with the words "Kilimanjaro". Tanzanian coffee belongs to Central / East Africa washed (wet treatment) coffee beans, with bright acidity and wild flavor. There is no doubt that the best of this kind of coffee is Kenyan coffee. Garden beans are usually singled out and sold at a higher price, but their performance in the cup is often unsatisfactory, making people feel that it is not worth it. Tanzania green beans, as a new type of coffee beans, sell very well in the United States, so many roasters have accepted this reality. Indeed, Tanzanian coffee has great potential, but it often misses the expression period of the best flavor because of the long transportation process. Because the coffee industry in Tanzania does not have the same infrastructure as Kenya, it is very possible that coffee beans have become old beans in containers on the way to the port. I can often brew the perfect flavor of this kind of coffee, but the aged beans have completely lost their flavor for a few years. So please keep in mind that if there is a newly arrived Tanzanian coffee on the supply list, it will make me very excited, because this batch of coffee must be very good. Mt in northern Tanzania. Excellent Tanzanian coffee is produced in the Kilimanjaro,Moshi and Mbeya areas, as well as in the Sogea area near the Ruvuma River and the Ruvuma basin in the south.
