Flavor Notes
About This Coffee
Mbeya, located in the southern highlands of Tanzania, has become a center of excellence in East African coffee thanks to its ideal altitude, volcanic soils, and network of smallholder farmers. The region offers more than just a beautiful landscape; it delivers coffee with grace and liveliness. Often washed and dried on raised beds under the warm equatorial sun, Mbeya coffee benefits from the hands-on care of thousands of families who depend on it. Though sometimes overlooked beside Kenya and Ethiopia, Mbeya quietly proves itself with coffees that hold their own—bright, balanced, and unmistakably East African in spirit.
