Sunset Swirl · Tanzania

East African excellence with a quieter voice than its neighbors.

Tanzanian coffee sits at the crossroads of East African excellence — sharing the volcanic soils and high altitudes that make Kenya and Ethiopia famous, but with its own quieter character. Cup quality is high, especially from the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro and the southern highlands around Mbeya.

The cup is bright but not sharp. Black tea and lemon up front, soft red fruit underneath, a wine-like complexity that opens up as it cools. A great Sunday-morning coffee, when you have time to notice what's in the mug.
