Introduction to the method of handling the degree of grinding of coffee beans in Tanzania

Tanzania's main coffee producing area, located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, is rich in volcanic soil. Some coffee trees planted here are more than 100 years old. Coffee was first introduced by Christians from Kenya to grow coffee. Coffee trees must be carefully taken care of, weeded and fertilized. Moreover, old branches must be cut off so that new branches can grow again to maintain the quality of coffee beans. Coffee bean processing plants are well equipped; coffee beans are an important economic crop in Tanzania. The local government attaches great importance to this industry. Kilimanjaro coffee is a large coffee bean of uniform size, with a grayish green color, compared with a strong sour and sweet flavor, excellent flavor. Moderate roasting will give off sweetness and light sour taste, deep baking will produce soft bitterness, suitable for mixed brewing: to brew a good cup of coffee, in addition to fresh coffee powder and slightly harder water, there is also a set of easy-to-use brewing tools. There are three main types of coffee machines in common use.

Drip filter: wet the coffee powder with water and let the coffee liquid flow through the filter cloth or filter paper and flow into the container at the speed of natural fall. Basically, this method does not soak the coffee powder, just let the hot water pass slowly through the coffee powder. Both the drip cup and the electric coffee maker fall into this category and are the simplest brewing tools that can make clean and brightly colored coffee.

Bubble type: put the coffee powder into the pot, soak it in hot water for several minutes, and then filter out the coffee grounds by a filter cloth or screen to form a cup of coffee liquid.

Siphon pots, drip pots, Belgian coffee pots and Vietnamese coffee pots are all follicular brewing tools, and they all have a soaking process to form a more complex taste.

High-pressure type: use pressurized hot water to penetrate the compacted coffee powder to produce a thick cup of coffee in this form of tools such as a mocha pot and an espresso machine.

Quick brewing method: can use Italian espresso machine, faster coffee brewing method. The Italian espresso machine can extract several cups of coffee continuously. The oil and gum in the coffee beans can be emulsified and dissolved under high pressure during the brewing process, and the essence of the beans is completely extracted by pressure, making the brewed coffee stronger, taste and aroma better. Tanzania coffee beans have an extraordinary quality and are produced in the Mohi district near Mount Kilimanjaro. The mountain area with a height of 3,000 to 6,000 feet is the best place to grow coffee, and the fertile volcanic ash gives the coffee a strong texture and soft acidity. It exudes delicate aromas and contains aromas of wine and fruit, making people taste endless aftertaste. After drinking Tanzanian coffee, I always feel a soft and mellow earthy smell around my mouth. Coffee gourmets often use words such as "wild" or "wild" to describe it. It can be said that pure Tanzanian coffee is "the most African coffee".
