This delicious coffee bean is from the Karatu area, in northeastern Tanzania. It is rich in sun ripeness and sweetness from the long drying process.
Tanzania is the world's 18th largest producer of coffee, accounting for approximately 0.6% of global coffee production. Approximately 70% of the coffee grown in the country is washed Arabica. Almost all Tanzanian coffee comes from family-owned farms located at an altitude of 1400-1800 meters.
The producer, Glenmalure, writes about the bean:
"This naturally processed coffee requires extremely careful selection during harvest. It is just reaching the vinous stage, and if we don't hit the perfect time, the coffee is lost."
However, it's not just us who hunt this coffee – our neighbors, the baboons, are just as keen to get their hands on the beans, just when the sweetness is at its peak."
