Introduction to the characteristics of Tanzania Kilimanjaro Coffee Flavor Manor treated with Water washing

Rice: mainly grown by small farmers, there are also several large-scale rice farms of the National Agriculture and Food Corporation (NAFCO). Large-scale cultivation depends mostly on modern irrigation facilities, while small-scale cultivation depends entirely on natural rainfall or traditional irrigation. The national annual output of rice is 60-700000 tons. The main planting areas are Shinyanga, Mwanza, Morogoro, Mbeya and Tabora.

Wheat: the national average annual search output of wheat is 70, 000 tons, and the largest wheat production unit is the HANNANG wheat complex, which consists of several farms with a total planting area of 4000 hectares. These farms are located in the Hannang district of Arusha and are all autonomous subsidiaries of NAFCO. In the 1970s, NAFCO developed and operated these farms with the help of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and CIDA's assistance to NAFCO ended in 1993. In addition to these farms in NAFCO, a number of large private farms in Arusha, Iringa and Kilimanjaro provinces also produce rice. In addition, some small farmers also produce wheat as rations.

Sugarcane is mainly grown by four large plantation companies, namely Kilombero Sugarcane Company, Mtibwa Sugarcane Plantation, Tanganyika planting Company and Kagera Sugarcane Co., Ltd. In addition, there are some foreign investors growing sugar cane in Kilombero and Mtibwa. The annual output of sugar in China is about 115000 tons, while the annual demand is 300000 tons, and more than 200,000 tons need to be imported every year.

Cassava: like corn, it can be grown in most parts of the country. The main planting areas are Mtwara, Lindi, Coastal Province, Dar es Salaam, Shinyanga, Tabora, Mwanza, Rukwa, Kagera, Kigoma and Mara. Cassava is one of the staple crops in Mwanza, Shinyanga, Tabora, and Mara provinces.

Tanzanian coffee is mostly washed. After picking, coffee farmers will send the coffee fruit to the nearest processing plant for processing. The treatment step of the water washing method is to screen and remove the impurities in the coffee fruit, then remove the coffee pulp and exocarp, and send it into the fermentation tank to remove the pectin layer on the inner pericarp by fermentation. clean and then dry. Coffee in Tanzania is graded in the same way as in Kenya, both according to the size of coffee beans. When screening raw coffee beans through a sieve with fixed size holes, the larger the number of the sieve means the larger the particles of raw coffee beans. The grades of flat beans distinguished by size are mainly AA+, AA, AB. In addition, PB (peaBerry), which produces more round beans in Kenya and Tanzania, also has a set of sieve size standards, and Tanzania is often compared with his neighbor Kenya. It is said that the earliest Arabica coffee in Tanzania was introduced by Christians from Kenya and is similar to Kenya in flavor characteristics. With grapefruit aromas and soft and bright acidity. However, because the economic conditions of Tanzania are worse than those of Kenya, the production conditions are poor. Tanzania's quality control is not strict enough, destroying the quality of coffee in many processing links, which can not compete with Kenya, which is famous for its high quality. Although it is similar to the Kenyan flavor, Tanzania as a whole is smoother and softer and belongs to the balanced type. With moderately low acidity and sweetness, dark chocolate finish, moderate mellow thickness. Compared with Kenya, which has a prominent personality, Tanzania is less hierarchical and does not give a very prominent feature after drinking, which makes people less impressive. But on the contrary, its soft and round characteristics are also more agreeable, which is easy to be accepted by people who are new to coffee.
