Tanzania coffee in London
3 speciality roasts from 3 London roasters use Tanzania beans.
Tanzanian speciality coffee tends toward bright, lively acidity with a medium to full body, often displaying fruit-forward character that ranges from citrus and stone fruit through to black currant and berry notes. A wine-like quality is fairly common, particularly in washed lots from higher elevations, and the cup can carry a pleasantly clean, tea-like finish. The profile sits broadly in the same family as other East African origins, though Tanzanian coffee is often considered slightly rounder and less intensely acidic than neighbouring Kenya.
The principal growing regions are Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Mbeya, and the Mara and Kagera areas in the west, with most quality coffee cultivated at altitudes between 1,400 and 2,000 metres. The Bourbon varietal and its descendants are most widely found, alongside some plantings of Kent and other regional selections. Washed processing is the dominant method, contributing to the clarity of flavour typical of the origin, though some natural-processed lots do appear and tend to produce heavier, fruitier cup profiles.
