Origins

Safari enthusiasts may be familiar with Mt. Oldeani. The famous mountains of Tanzania with the famous, now extinct, Ngorongoro volcano are considered the 8^th wonder of the world. The region of northern Tanzania thus attracts the attention of tourists and wildlife experts from all over the world. And it also attracts coffee processors. Because the local farmers produce beans of excellent quality.

Coffee is Tanzania's most important export commodity, with the country producing 30,000-40,000 tonnes a year, 70% of which is arabica and 30% robusta.
Coffea arabica trees, which are overwhelmingly tended by small farmers, are harvested between October and February. Official figures mention more than 250,000 people involved in the coffee industry. For Tanzanians, however, coffee is very expensive (annual consumption is reported to be less than 10% of total production), so they prefer to consume tea.

The journey that coffee takes to become a freeze-dried product is long and arduous. In order for the result to be excellent, each process must follow strict standard. Coffee cherries are harvested by farmers in Tanzania several times in succession as they ripen. Using a method known as washing, they remove the flesh and the skins, release the green beans and leave them to ferment in water for several hours. When the harvest is dry, they can sell the coffee.

The next step on the road to freeze-dried coffee is roasting. It is also the first step in the process of roasting coffee, which determines how much aroma the coffee retains and what the result will taste like. Roasting is followed by the preparation of a strong extract, which needs to be dried to produce a water-soluble 'powder'. One method is called spraying, after the process of spraying the extract in hot air. The other, more difficult, is freeze-drying. In this process, the coffee extract is deep-frozen and 'dried' by sublimation (change from solid to gas) under low pressure. The soluble coffee produced in this way can be recognized by its appearance (large, smooth crystals), taste (full-bodied, harmonious, layered) and aroma (strong).

Freeze-dried coffee made from Tanzanian coffee beans is one of the highest quality and sought-after instant coffees. Moreover, it is of organic quality, so neither the cultivation of coffee trees nor the processing of coffee has a negative impact on the environment.

Coffee packaging preview

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
