Intercontinental Coffee Trading (ICT) is proud to bring the unique and rich flavors of Tanzanian coffee to the global stage. Known for its diverse landscapes and the majestic Kilimanjaro, Tanzania is also the birthplace of some of the world’s most flavorful coffee beans. This article explores why Tanzanian coffee, with its distinct characteristics and sustainable production methods, is a must-have for coffee enthusiasts and retailers alike.
Coffee From Tanzania: A Symphony of Flavors
At ICT, we specialize in sourcing Tanzanian coffee, celebrated for its wide range of flavor profiles. From the bright acidity of beans grown in the highlands of Mbeya to the nuanced hints of dates or currants from the slopes of Kilimanjaro, Tanzanian coffee offers a palette of tastes that cater to every coffee lover’s desires.
- Mbeya Region: In this highland area, small farmers collaborate through co-op associations to process their coffee at washing stations located approximately 1,750 meters above sea level. The result is a coffee with vibrant acidity and lively flavors, perfect for starting your day.
- Kilimanjaro (Arusha): Coffee grown on Kilimanjaro’s slopes is known for its fine body and bright acidity, enriched with subtle flavors of dates or currants, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.
The Craft of Coffee Processing
ICT’s wholesale Tanzanian coffee selection showcases the best of both washed and natural processing methods, highlighting the meticulous care taken to enhance each bean’s inherent qualities.
- Washed Process: Predominantly used in the Mbeya region, this method involves cleaning and fermenting the coffee cherries to remove the pulp before drying. It’s a process that accentuates the coffee’s clarity and complex acidity.
- Natural Process: Some of our Tanzanian offerings are naturally processed, where cherries are dried with the fruit still on the bean, imparting a sweeter, more fruit-forward profile to the coffee.
When Excellence Meets Availability
With a harvest period from September to December and availability from January to April, ICT ensures a steady supply of Tanzanian coffee, ranging from 900,000 to 1 million bags annually. This ensures that our clients always have access to the exceptional quality and distinctive flavors of Tanzanian coffee.
