TANZANIA TEMBO MAJINJA DARK COFFEE

Tanzania, like Kenya and Ethiopia, can produce some of the world's most complex flavoured coffees in the world. This coffee bean at a dark roast is full bodied, with a brisk sweet flavour and exquisite bittersweet fruity aroma. Notes of treacle toffee, chocolate orange, caramel, raw cocoa, dried fruits, plum and molasses make it one of the world's great dark roast coffees. The blend of coffee bean varietals, including Bourbon, helps create this very complex flavour profile. Sourced from the Majinja Farmer Group, which is currently made up of 20 farmers in the Ibembwe, Msia, Mbozi and Songwe regions, grown between 1,600 and 1,700 meters. The name Majinja is derived from the name of the clan of the owner of the factory. In the 2015-2016 season, interest from neighbouring farmers to join together to produce fully washed coffees began what is known today as the Majinja Farmer Group. Coffee is fully washed with water from the Tumkaki river, fermented in tanks, graded based on density, soaked in tanks and dried on raised beds. It is estimated that about 400,000 farming families obtain revenue from coffee, and the crop comprises about 20 percent of Tanzania's export earnings.
