Pure chocolate orange vibes to celebrate Cairngorm Coffee’s first release from Tanzania!

These coffee beans come from the Ngila Estate in the Arusha Region, a coffee station near the Kenyan border that sits at 1600MASL. This area of Tanzania borders Kilimanjaro and boasts many of Africa’s highest mountains along with many extinct volcanoes and volcanic craters whose minerals enrich the soil and make it ideal for coffee cultivation.

The team behind Ngila want to make it a model for sustainable, quality coffee production in this rarer origin. Their 107 hectares of coffee is intercropped with other plants to provide biodiversity for native wildlife, an effort that has earned them Rainforest Alliance certification.

We’re always excited to try Tanzanian coffee when we can get our hands on it! This AA washed lot has a versatile brown sugar sweetness, chocolatey body and orange acidity and has been roasted for filter to maintain a brilliant juiciness.
