Coffee is one of the main cash crops in Tanzania, ranking fourth after cotton, tobacco and cashew nuts, mainly sold to Italy, Japan and the United States. Coffee exports play an important role in the national economy of Tanzania. Tanzania's main coffee-producing area, located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, is rich in volcanic soil. Some coffee trees are more than 100 years old. Coffee was first introduced and planted by Christians from Kenya. Coffee trees must be carefully cared for, weeded, fertilized, and old branches must be cut off so that new branches can grow to maintain the quality of coffee beans. The processing plant is located in a nearby town at the foot of the mountain, making it easy to handle coffee beans nearby. Many of the farm owners' families have lived here for generations of immigrants, including Indians, Scandinavians, British, and, of course, locals, but most of them are small farms. however, the managers of farms and processing farms are mostly local people. Labor in Tanzania is cheap, so much of the work of pruning and maintaining coffee plantations in Tanzania depends on manual processing rather than machines. During the coffee growing season, the job of coffee workers is to manually check to remove the leaves of some sick or growing insects. Coffee processing in Tanzania is highly dependent on labor, but it also brings jobs to locals and increases household income. Workers earn their wages by harvesting the amount of coffee fruit, and small farm women use their hand-made sacks to bring coffee fruit to the farm to calculate the money.

The coffee beans produced here are all exported from Kilimanjaro, but apart from Mount Kilimanjaro, there are several major coffee-producing areas throughout Tanzania, there are more small farms in other areas, and most small farms also have a planting area of several hundred mu. Some have their own washing equipment and drying farms, but graded treatment still has to go through large-scale treatment plants. Tanzania has considerable historical experience in growing coffee, and even small farms can handle good quality coffee beans.

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.
