In fact, Dar es Salaam is not the capital of Tanzania. It was the capital of German East Africa from 1891 to 1916. It was the capital of Tanganyika from 1961 to 1964 and later the capital of Tanzania. In 1974, the Tanzanian Parliament decided to move the capital to the inland town of Dorma.

"fresh" is the most important factor in buying Kilimanjaro coffee beans. There are several steps to judge whether the beans are fresh or not.

1. Grab a handful of coffee beans and feel whether they are solid beans with the palm of your hand.

2. Whether it is enough to smell the aroma close to the nose.

3. Put a bean into your mouth and bite it twice. There is a clear sound indicating that the bean is well preserved and not damp.

If you want to buy a single Kilimanjaro coffee bean, grab a handful in the palm of your hand, in addition to the above judgment, but also look at whether the color, grain size and shape of each bean are similar, so as not to buy mixed beans. If you buy mixed beans, it is normal to have different colors, grain sizes and shapes.
