SOM (Single Origin of the Month)

The Single Origin of the Month will focus on promoting a different coffee farm/producer each month. This City Roast profile will highlight the notes and flavors of the beans that each farmer expects in every cup.

This month’s offering is washed Fair Trade Organic coffee beans from Tanzania.

This African coffee variety is wild and gamey, the good kind of gamey that tells you this is not a domesticated coffee. This coffee is a blend from various coffee producers from across the Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions. These groups come from districts in Kilimanjaro such as Hai and Moshi Rural district, in addition the coffee was also sourced from Meru district close to the town of Arusha. The producers of this coffee have farms between 1-2 hectares in size and intercrop with bananas and avocado. The coffee is fully washed and processed on the farms using the locally made hand pulpers, buckets for fermentation and dried on raised beds.

The cup, has a very nice delivery. Sweet brown sugar honey aroma, juicy smooth medium to full body, clean sweet fruity lingering aftertaste, exotic well balanced intense flavor and crisp bright tangy winey acidity with black tea, citrus, orange and blueberry notes.
