History of coffee
Today we travel to three African countries with our Strait blend: Tanzania, Congo and Uganda.
Africa is the cradle of human civilization, the birthplace of the coffee plant, the only land that seems to tell us the beginning of every story.
Tanzania
The single-origin natural robusta from Tanzania is a Superior, from the Bukoba region, grown above 800 metres above sea level.
Tanzania is a country I'm very fond of and have had the pleasure of visiting both along the coast and inland. Among giraffes, lions, and other savannah animals, it reveals some of the wonders of the world, rich in contrasting colors: the red earth, the savannah with its green trees, and a clear blue sky.
People also always have colorful clothes and a beautiful smile on their faces.
Coffee cultivation began in 1898 with Catholic missionaries. It immediately became a key export.
Currently, most of it is produced by small farmers organized into cooperatives.
