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, let the raw coffee beans pass through the screen with fixed size holes. The larger the number of the screen is, the larger the particles of the raw coffee beans are. The flat beans classified by size are mainly AA+, AA and AB. In addition, PB (peaBerry), which is widely produced in Kenya and Tanzania, also has a set of sieve size standards, which specifically classify the size of round beans.

Pure flavor, full-bodied and refreshing, all aspects of quality are excellent.

Tanzanian coffee has long been loved by Europeans and has joined the ranks of famous products.

Coffee is like the simple, frank and enthusiastic national character of Tanzania. Its refreshing acidity and medium mellowness complement sweet citrus and floral aromas. You can experience that different ethnic groups produce different coffee flavors, while the same land is pregnant with coffee trees and people are countries that put coffee into the national emblem. Kilimanjaro once became one of the most economically powerful areas in Tanzania because of coffee cultivation. In recent years, due to the deterioration of the coffee industry in Tanzania, the economic situation of the region has changed. Tanzanian coffee is crisp, with a taste similar to that of strong and elegant Chinese and American coffee, and less acidic than Kenyan coffee.
