About Tanzanian Coffee
Colipse's Tanzania Peaberry Kilimanjaro is among the best Tanzanian coffee beans that owe their distinctive character to their unique origin. Grown at 1,200-2,000 meters on Kilimanjaro's slopes, these coffee beans thrive in a 23°C average temperature, with highs of 32°C and lows of 15°C. April's 95.6mm rainfall and November's 25km/h winds influence their unique character. These coffee beans are classified as PB (Peaberry) grade, a natural mutation occurring in 5% of coffee cherries, resulting in rounder and denser beans that are hand-sorted during screen grading. Cultivated varietals include Bourbon (KP, N39), Blue Mountain, Kent, SL28, and Batian. The coffee undergoes a washing process, and production volumes typically range from 500 to 700 tonnes of green coffee each year.
Cupping Notes
This Tanzanian coffee greets you with a delicate fragrance, like a bouquet of freesias and fresh pears. As you sip, rich layers of chocolate and deeply sweet caramel unfold on your palate. The aftertaste is a quiet whisper of cedar and pear, leaving a clean, lemonish trace. Its acidity is bright and lively, reminiscent of a crisp green apple, while the sweetness is subtle and natural, like raw honey. Finally, the mouthfeel is velvety smooth with a luxurious, full-bodied texture.
