Introduction to the characteristics of coffee flavor and taste in Arusha Coffee Manor

In 1886, Tanganyika Inland was placed under the German sphere of influence. In November 1917, British forces occupied the whole territory of Tanganyika. In 1920, Tanganyika became a British "mandated territory". In 1946, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to change it into a British "trust land." on May 1, 1961, Tanzania achieved internal autonomy, declared independence on December 9 of the same year, and established the Republic of Tanganyika a year later.

Zanzibar became a British "protectorate" in 1890, gained autonomy on June 24, 1963, declared independence on December 10 of the same year, and became a constitutional monarchy ruled by the Sultan.

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 the activities of the opposition and resolutely safeguard the coalition system.

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.

Drinking Tanzanian coffee, especially the small round bean peaberry, is always impressive. Coffee is like the simple, frank and enthusiastic national character of Tanzania. Its refreshing acidity and medium mellowness complement sweet citrus and floral aromas. This coffee tastes great whether it's a hot drink or iced coffee. With oranges or berries, it can show its bright flavor. You can see that different ethnic groups produce different coffee flavors, while the same land breeds coffee trees and people at the same time.
