Tanzania Coffee — Medium-Light Roast — Single Origin

Bright stone fruit, floral aromatics, and refined sweetness

Tanzania’s southern highlands are quietly producing some of East Africa’s most elegant coffees, and this single origin selection from the Mbeya Region is a clear expression of that terroir. Grown by small cooperative farmers at high elevation and roasted to a precise medium-light profile, this coffee highlights clarity, florality, and vibrant fruit without overwhelming acidity.

The cup opens with delicate jasmine aromatics and soft floral notes, followed by crisp pear and ripe strawberry sweetness. A clean, balanced structure carries the flavors through a smooth, refreshing finish, making this an excellent choice for drinkers who appreciate nuanced, aromatic coffees with natural elegance.

Origin & Growing Region

Mbeya Region, Tanzania

Situated in southern Tanzania near the borders of Malawi and Zambia, the Mbeya Region benefits from cool mountain air, rich clay-mineral soils, and consistent rainfall. Farms in this area sit at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,900 meters, allowing coffee cherries to mature slowly and develop layered sugars and aromatic complexity.

Small cooperative farmers carefully cultivate Bourbon and Kent varietals, focusing on quality-driven harvesting practices that emphasize ripe cherry selection and consistency across lots.

Varietal Breakdown

Bourbon & Kent

Bourbon contributes sweetness, balance, and soft fruit character, while Kent adds structure and resilience, along with subtle floral depth. Together, these varietals create a cup that feels refined and expressive, with both brightness and harmony.

Processing Method

Fully washed, raised-bed dried

After harvest, cherries are fully washed to enhance clarity and acidity, then dried on raised beds to ensure even airflow and moisture control. This process preserves delicate aromatics and results in a clean, transparent flavor profile that allows origin characteristics to shine.

Roast Profile

Medium-light

Roasted to accentuate floral notes and fresh fruit sweetness, this medium-light profile maintains brightness while adding just enough development to keep the cup balanced and approachable. Ideal for pour-over, drip, and other filter brewing methods.
