COFFEE FARM TOUR

Tanzania is one of Africa’s finest coffee-producing countries, and the fertile volcanic slopes around
Arusha and Kilimanjaro are home to small-scale farms producing exceptional Arabica coffee.

A coffee farm tour takes you through the full journey of the bean — from tree to cup —
in a setting of lush greenery and mountain views.

The Experience

Walk through plantations shaded by banana trees and learn how coffee cherries are grown and harvested by hand.

• Harvesting ripe coffee cherries

• Washing and drying the beans in the sun

• Roasting over an open fire

• Grinding using a traditional mortar and pestle

The Taste

The experience concludes with a tasting of freshly brewed coffee — rich, smooth, and deeply flavourful.

The altitude and volcanic soil of the region are reflected in every cup, offering a taste far beyond anything found on a supermarket shelf.
