The producer's, Leon Christianakis, story embodies the history of coffee production in northern Tanzania itself, and it also vividly reflects the future of specialty coffee in the East African country. Leon is the third generation of coffee producers in his family. The family’s house is located on the outskirts of Arusha, near the Kilimanjaro International Airport. His grandparents were also immigrants who came to Tanzania from Greece around the early 1900s and made a living from coffee production.
The farm, Acacia Hills, was listed as the winner of a private auction in Tanzania organized by ACE (The Alliance for Coffee Excellence).
Kent was introduced to Tanzania and elsewhere in East Africa in the 1920s as part of an intensive selection program at the Lyamungu Research Station in Tanzania, focused on quality and production.
The AB grade in the name stands for the coffee grade which is given by the size of the beans - between 15 and 18 screen size meaning that beans are measuring 6 and 7 millimeters in size.
