TANZANIA TWEEGA MAJINJA 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 medium roast reveals a clean and balanced cup, with big, syrupy body, bright, lively acidity and notes of apple juice, orange peel, butterscotch, caramel, dark chocolate, peach, flowers, sweet lemon, black tea, kiwi, cranberry, stone fruits, nectarine, plum, cranberry, blackberry, marzipan and vanilla. 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. The parchment is then handpicked on the drying tables to remove defects.
