On January 12, 1964, the Sang people overthrew the sultan and founded the Zanzibar people's Republic. Tanganyika and Zanzibar formed a United Republic on April 26, 1964, and changed its name to the United Republic of Tanzania on October 29 of the same year. Julius Kambarage Nyerere was the founding president and was re-elected twice until he resigned voluntarily in 1985. Mwinyi was elected the fourth president of the United Republic on October 27 of the same year and was re-elected in 1990.

In December 1992, the Zanzibar government joined the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) without authorization, which was strongly opposed by the coalition government and was forced to withdraw in 1993.

In October 1995, the first multi-party general election was held in Tanzania. Mkapa was elected president of the United Republic, and Salmin was re-elected president of Zanzibar by a narrow margin.

After 1996, the Sang opposition party stepped up its action against the coalition. With the firm support of the coalition government, the mulberry government has taken tough measures to suppress opposition activities and resolutely safeguard the coalition system.

In October 2000, Mkapa was re-elected president of the United Republic, and Karume, a candidate of the Revolutionary Party, was elected president and repeatedly expressed his position of safeguarding national unity, which further dealt a blow to the separatist forces.

Since 2001, the coalition government has continued to consolidate the situation of unity, maintain the coalition regime, strive for moderate forces, crack down on Zanzibar separatist forces, and take care of the allocation of budget funds and other issues related to Zanzibar's vital interests. Instead of openly advocating secession, URUF demanded that Zanzibar be given more autonomy.

In December 2005, Kikwete was elected President of the United Republic, and Karume was elected President of the United Republic.

In early 2008, the Revolutionary Party and the RUF held negotiations on the establishment of a coalition government in Zanzibar, but no agreement was reached.

In 2009, the joint issue of Tanzania and mulberry has made some progress, but the dispute between the mainland and Sangdao on the ownership of mulberry oil and gas resources has heated up. Political reconciliation negotiations between the Sangdao Revolutionary Party and the main opposition party RUF resumed at the end of the year after a break at the beginning of the year. President Karume of Sang and General Secretary of RUF Hamad held historic talks, which attracted widespread attention from all parties.

In early 2010, there was a new trend of political reconciliation in Sangdao, and the Revolutionary Party and the Public RUF reached an agreement on the formation of a Sangdao unity government. In July of the same year, the Sang referendum passed a resolution on the establishment of a national unity government. In November, the general election was held smoothly, and the Sangdao National Unity Government was established. The president, the second vice president and 11 ministers came from the Revolutionary Party. Sang's first vice president and eight ministers came from the RUF. [1]

Tanzania's main coffee producing area, located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, is rich in volcanic soil. Some coffee trees planted here are more than 100 years old. Coffee was first introduced by Christians from Kenya to grow coffee. Coffee trees must be carefully taken care of, weeded and fertilized. Moreover, old branches must be cut off so that new branches can grow again to maintain the quality of coffee beans. Coffee bean processing plants are well equipped; coffee beans are an important economic crop in Tanzania. The local government attaches great importance to this industry. Kilimanjaro coffee is a large coffee bean of uniform size, with a grayish green color, compared with a strong sour and sweet flavor, excellent flavor. Medium baking will give off sweetness and light sour taste, deep baking will produce soft bitterness, suitable for blending.

Brewing: to brew a good cup of coffee, you need not only fresh coffee powder and slightly harder water, but also a set of easy-to-use brewing tools. There are three main types of coffee machines in common use.

Drip filter: wet the coffee powder with water and let the coffee liquid flow through the filter cloth or filter paper and flow into the container at the speed of natural fall. Basically, this method does not soak the coffee powder, just let the hot water pass slowly through the coffee powder. Both the drip cup and the electric coffee maker fall into this category and are the simplest brewing tools that can make clean and brightly colored coffee.

Bubble type: put the coffee powder into the pot, soak it in hot water for several minutes, and then filter out the coffee grounds by a filter cloth or screen to form a cup of coffee liquid.

Siphon pots, drip pots, Belgian coffee pots and Vietnamese coffee pots are all follicular brewing tools, and they all have a soaking process to form a more complex taste.

High-pressure type: use pressurized hot water to penetrate the compacted coffee powder to produce a thick cup of coffee in this form of tools such as a mocha pot and an espresso machine.

Quick brewing method: can use Italian espresso machine, faster coffee brewing method. The espresso machine can continuously extract several cups of coffee. The oil and gum in the coffee beans can be emulsified and dissolved under high pressure during the brewing process, and the essence of the beans can be completely extracted by pressure, making the brewed coffee more concentrated, taste and flavor better located in the Mount Kilimanjaro volcano in northeastern Tanzania, 5895 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Africa, and the ultra-high altitude makes the top of the mountain snow all the year round. Tanzania's main coffee producing area is located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. The area is rich in volcanic soil, which brings an adequate supply of nutrients for the growth of coffee trees. Coffee trees are generally planted in areas above 1150 meters above sea level, which is one of the prerequisites for Arabica to form a high-quality flavor.
