About this coffee
Origin: Tanzania Region: Mbozi Farm: 160 smallholders Processing: Washed Altitude: 1600-1800 m a.s.l. Cupping score: 87 / 100 ABOUT THE FARM AND THE COFFEE PRODUCER Itumpi is a cooperative with quite long traditions, as its origins date back to the 1970s. It brings together 160 small producers living in the Mbozi region, less than 70 km from the border with Zambia. Recently, in 2019, the cooperative built a central washing station, thanks to which all harvested cherries are processed on-site. Naturally, this boosted the quality of the final product and made exporting outside Tanzania easier – and as a result – increased the cooperative's profit. ABOUT THE PROCESSING OF COFFEE BEANS ON THE FARM The Bourbon variety, hand-picked, is delivered on the same day to a small washing station owned by the cooperative. After the depulping process, which separates the seed from the fruit, it is sorted by bean size and then separately fermented in a tank for 10 hours. Washed and dried on raised beds for 10 days. ROASTER'S OPINION One could say that high-quality lots from Tanzania are a wonderful rescue that comes outside the fresh Kenya season. Jammy, fruity, and juicy. And that is exactly the case here. We are happy to put Itumpi into the roaster for another year in a row! Store in a cool and dry place.
