  • How to roast Tanzanian coffee beans?

    Tanzanian coffee is known for its clean, balanced flavour thanks to wet processing. To get the best out of it, try a longer roasting curve. This helps develop the coffee's natural sugars and creates a perfect balance between its bright acidity and fruity notes.

    If you want to focus on enhancing fruity flavours and vibrant acidity go for a lighter roast. If you prefer something sweeter, go for a medium or dark roast—it’ll bring out the caramel-like tones.

    Peaberry beans from Tanzania’s Mbeya region need extra care. These rare, dense beans require a higher charge temperature to hit first crack quickly and avoid a baked taste. Let the beans develop fully in the roasting phase to unlock their full potential.

  • What is the flavour profile of Tanzanian coffee?

    Tanzanian coffee stands out with its lively, fruity flavour and hints of cooked sugar sweetness. Think bright, Kenyan-like notes, but with a softer, wine-like acidity.

    Flavour varies depending on the region and coffee varietal. Common Arabica types grown in Tanzania—like Bourbon, Typica, Kent, N39, Blue Mountain, and Nyassa—each bring their own twist to the cup. These unique characteristics make Tanzanian coffee a must-try for speciality coffee lovers around the world.

  • How to roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home is simple once you get the hang of it. Use a stovetop popcorn maker, an oven, or a home coffee roaster. Preheat your chosen device, and stir the beans continuously for an even roast.

    As the beans roast, you’ll hear cracks. These signal different roast stages, from light to dark. A light roast will bring out fruity, acidic notes, while a darker roast will give you bolder, richer flavours.

    Once you’ve hit your preferred roast, cool the beans quickly to lock in the flavour. Experiment with different roast profiles to find what works for you. Need more help? Check out our blog: How to Start Roasting Coffee at Home: All Your Questions Answered!
