Tanzania shares the same borders as Ethiopia, known as one of the best coffee producers in the world and the birthplace of Arabica beans.
Tanzanian coffee is believed to have a fruity flavor, with a slight sweetness similar to that of brown bread. The beans are also notable for smelling like apples with a slight floral fragrance.
On the other hand, their locally ground beans are from Mt. Apo, which aside from being the country’s highest peak, is one of the most popular places in the country to grow coffee beans.
