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. The earliest coffee was 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, and the local government attaches great importance to this industry.

The coffee beans are of 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 most suitable area for growing coffee. Fertile volcanic ash gives the coffee here a strong texture and soft acidity.

It exudes delicate aromas and contains aromas of wine and fruit, making people taste endless aftertaste. After drinking Kilimanjaro 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 Kilimanjaro coffee is "the most African coffee". Kilimanjaro AA is the highest grade of beans, its grains are full, pure flavor, rich and refreshing, all aspects of quality are good. It is usually milder acidic than Kenyan coffee and evenly stimulates the taste buds in the middle and sides of the back of the tongue, feeling a bit like tomato or soda. After moderate or more moderate baking, it has a strong aroma, then grind it into a fine powder, soak it in a pot of boiling water, and invite friends to sit around and taste it. The famous coffee brands in Tanzania, such as Africafe, Tanica Cafe, Kilimanjaro and so on, are of much better quality than the Nestle coffee we often drink. Tanzanian coffee has long been loved by Europeans and has joined the ranks of famous products. Europeans give Tanzanian coffee the nickname "coffee gentleman", and coffee connoisseurs call it the "coffee swordsman" with the mocha of "King of Coffee" and "Lady of Coffee".

In October 2000, Mkapa was re-elected president of the United Republic, and Karume, a candidate of the Revolutionary Party, was elected president and repeatedly expressed his position of safeguarding national unity, which further dealt a blow to the separatist forces.

Since 2001, the coalition government has continued to consolidate unity, maintain the coalition regime, strive for moderate forces, crack down on the separatist forces in Zanzibar, and take care of the allocation of budgetary funds and other issues related to Zanzibar's vital interests. Instead of openly advocating separation, URUF has demanded that Zanzibar be given more autonomy.

In December 2005, Kikwete was elected President of the United Republic, and Karume was elected President of the United Republic.

In early 2008, the Revolutionary Party and the RUF held negotiations on the establishment of a coalition government in Zanzibar, but no agreement was reached.

In 2009, the joint issue of Tanzania and mulberry has made some progress, but the dispute between the mainland and Sangdao on the ownership of mulberry oil and gas resources has heated up. Political reconciliation negotiations between the Sangdao Revolutionary Party and the main opposition party RUF resumed at the end of the year after a break at the beginning of the year. President Karume of Sang and General Secretary of RUF Hamad held historic talks, which attracted widespread attention from all parties.

In early 2010, there was a new trend of political reconciliation in Sangdao, and the Revolutionary Party and the Public RUF reached an agreement on the formation of a Sangdao unity government. In July of the same year, the Sang referendum passed a resolution on establishing a government system of national unity. In November, the general election of Sang was held smoothly, and the government of national unity was established on Sangdao. President Sang, the second vice president and 11 ministers came from the Revolutionary Party. Sang's first vice president and 8 ministers came from the RUF.

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.

Kilimanjaro coffee is a uniform size of large coffee beans, the color is gray-green, compared with a strong sour and sweet flavor, excellent flavor. Moderate baking will give off sweetness and light sour taste, deep baking will produce soft bitterness, suitable for blending
