Coffee production in Tanzania dates back to the end of the 19th century, when Catholic missionaries first introduced the crop. The first coffee varieties were Bourbon and Kent, but today, you can also find Nyssa and Blue Mountain.
The territory is mostly desert-like, but in the mountains, the tropical climate fosters the growth of vegetation, creating excellent conditions for the cultivation of coffee plants.
Tanzania’s tropical climate is very warm and humid, but luckily, in the plantations, it is mitigated by typical shade plants, such as banana trees. Thanks to their big leaves, they protect coffee plants from excessive heat and rain.
Tanzania’s economy is one of the poorest in the world, but coffee is the country’s largest export. Its coffee production averages approximately 70% arabica and 30% robusta.
The main characteristics of Tanzania’s coffee are its full and rich taste, with a high level of acidity and a texture which varies between medium and full-bodied. The creaminess is very intense, and the aromatic notes typicall range from soft fruit to citron.
