Last Updated: 2024/09/20, 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, which destroys the coffee in many processing links.

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.

The northern coffee is full of aroma, bright acidity, mellow taste, and thanks to the fertile volcanic soil, it has the sweetness of mineral water.

Southern coffees are characteristically medium body and fine acidity with good fruity and floral aromatic taste.

Southern coffee is rich in floral aromas, smooth on the palate with elegant acidity.

2) SweetMarias's introduction of TZ (emphasis on flavor / quality)

Tanzanian coffee has the excellent pedigree of the Middle Eastern non-washed bean family, bright acidity, rich and irritating flavor. There is no doubt that Kenyan coffee takes the lead in this family, but Tanzania has many advantages that are very similar to those of Kenya.

Round beans are often specially selected and expensive, but sometimes they taste like moldy beans, which is not in line with their price. As we all know, garden beans have become a unique flavor of coffee, and sell well in the United States, favored by many roasters. Tanzania is a potential coffee, but sometimes its flavor is not really shown. One reason is that Tanzania does not have the same road infrastructure as Kenya, and coffee in containers ages (or at a high temperature) during transportation. I often drink very good Tanzanian samples, but sometimes I also drink very bad coffee. The problem is that Tanzania only knows that no matter whether the quality is good or bad, they can make a profit from the beans. So what is the motivation of the local people to pick and take good care of coffee in time to prevent such defective beans?

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.

Tanzania is also often compared with its nearest neighbor Kenya.
