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.

Kilimanjaro Coffee (Kilikmanjaro Coffee) is produced in Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa in northeastern Tanzania.
