Tanzania has a federal presidential system. For a long time, the Revolutionary Party was in power for a long time, and the political situation was stable.

Mount Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northeastern Tanzania, is the highest mountain in Africa at 5895 meters above sea level. The ultra-high altitude makes the top of the mountain snow all the year round, while 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 at high elevations above 1150 meters, which is one of the prerequisites for Arabica to develop a high-quality flavor.

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

Tanzania is also often compared with its nearest neighbor Kenya. It is said that the earliest Arabica coffee in Tanzania was introduced by Christians from Kenya and is similar to Kenya in flavor characteristics. With grapefruit aromas and soft and bright acidity. However, because the economic conditions of Tanzania are worse than those of Kenya, the production conditions are poor. Tanzania's quality control is not strict enough, destroying the quality of coffee in many processing links, which can not compete with Kenya, which is famous for its high quality. Although it is similar to the Kenyan flavor, Tanzania as a whole is smoother and softer and belongs to the balanced type. With moderately low acidity and sweetness, dark chocolate finish, moderate mellow thickness. Compared with Kenya, which has a prominent personality, Tanzania is less hierarchical and does not give a very prominent feature after drinking, which makes people less impressive. But on the contrary, its soft and round characteristics are also more agreeable, which is easy to be accepted by people who are new to coffee.
