We source Tanzania coffee from north Kilimanjaro, Mbeya in the southwest, Morogolo in the east and Iringa in the south. Other regions include Usambara Mountains, Mbinga, Ngara, and Kigoma. Our family growers from the above areas produce mainly Arabica. Our Robusta comes from lands near Lake Victoria including Bukoba. The coffee season here starts mostly in late October and lasts for the next four to five months. We only consort with family growers with less than two acres of land who use mulch and farmyard manure as soil enrichment.
We undertake the coffee harvest in Tanzania by hand-picking means. Our expert men and women pickers usually look for cherries with firm, plump formation in full red color.
