Coffee Beans · 탄자니아

Variety of Coffee grown on the slopes on Mt. Kilimanjaro is Arabica, the areas grown stretches from lower altitude to upper altitude is between 1000-2000 mm above sea level. Flowering and Maturing of coffee depends on the weather and altitude. Ripening of Coffee follows the same track that means it starts from the lower altitude to higher altitude. Ripening from low altitude to high altitude starts between April/May and October. Farms will be ripened in between the months depending with the altitude they are found. For example farmers in Kware Society starts in April and ends in January, while Machame Wari starts in July and ends in February. Coffees of higher altitude have better quality than those in the lower and middle altitude because they take longer time to mature.
