“The specialty coffee industry in Tanzania is very exciting and is constantly growing. I heard on a podcast that young people from coffee origin countries have left city life behind and moved to the highlands to grow coffee. When I hear stories like this, it reminds me of the people we used to be. As I always say, as long as I don’t run out of energy and motivation, I want to keep doing things that really excite me. I think that’s what makes a business sustainable and makes it possible to support workers and small producers.”, the producer, Leon Christianakis said about the specialty coffee field in the East African country.
It's the first time we have coffee from Tanzania and we chose two coffee lots from Acacia Hills, the farm that was listed as the winner of a private auction in Tanzania organized by ACE (The Alliance for Coffee Excellence).
The complex, sweet and floral flavour profile of the Geisha variety is one aspect that contributes to its renown and prestige.
The cherry sorting process begins in the field and continues at the washing station, where de-pulping is carried out in the evening. The coffee is then subjected to an open fermentation process for a period of 12 to 13 hours. During this time, the coffee is regularly checked to monitor the level of fermentation. Once the fermentation process is complete, the coffee is washed and graded to separate P1, P2, and floaters. The drying process, which typically takes 13 to 16 days depending on weather conditions, continues until the parchment reaches a moisture content of 12% on the beds. The dried parchment is then transferred to a dry storage area.
