Medium roast beans from tea-and-coffee-emporium.co.uk. Quite a bold bean with a refreshing acidity. Not much roast flavours. Lots of citric fruit (which is not my thing when it comes to drinking coffee) resulting in a lively, clean, invigorating, and slightly sweet coffee. There's a hint of parma violets in the finish.
Tanzania is in East Africa, which is noted for its acidic coffees. The coffee is grown by the Chaga tribe on the slopes of Killimanjaro. Bought from tea-and-coffee-emporium.co.uk, who don't seem to exist at that website any more.
Score: 7
Other reviews:
*Imperial Teas say: "This incredibly popular coffee grown by the Wa Chagga people who live on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro is washed in the glacier streams and dried in the pure mountain air. Japanese and German buyers will pay a heavy premium for this flowery, full flavoured yet delicate coffee with its pointed acidity and clean taste. As a result this fulfilling drink is very difficult to obtain in the U.K. When you get it, covet it!"
*Peck says: "Vast deforesting was carried out in the tropical forests to make room for the coffee plantations. The natural and washed Arabica coffees from Tanzania have a vinous, sweet flavour with an acidic tone. The Tanzania Kibo Chagga coffee is produced by the inhabitants in Wa-Chagga who live at the foot of Kilimanjaro.It has a well-balanced taste and a most delicate acidity. The competition to purchase this coffee is very high: Peck recommends this blend for high quality coffee lovers."
