TANZANIA EDELWEISS PEABERRY
Our July Coffee of the Month is a peaberry from the Edelweiss estate in Oldeani, Tanzania. This coffee is balanced with a medium body and it is deliciously sweet throughout. The cup starts soft with subtle notes of almond. In the middle of the cup, the flavor erupts with sweet tangerine, roasted almond, and caramel joining together in a cacophony of flavor. Toward the end, the tangerine notes reach their peak before fading into the long and super sweet chocolate caramel finish.
Roast Color: Medium
Cupping Notes: Sweet Tangerine, Roasted Almond, Chocolate Caramel
About the coffee of the month: We feature a new coffee every month. This allows us to explore more of the world of coffee outside of our normal offerings. It is available this month only, while supplies last.
Story: This coffee is sourced from a family owned estate located in Oldeani, Tanzania. The 600 acre estate, called Edelweiss, is perched on the slopes of the Ngorogoro Caldera (the largest unbroken caldera in the world), a protected wildlife refuge for the endangered black rhino and UNESCO World Heritage site. The estate has been in the Vohora family since the end of World War II. In recent years the Vohora family has made significant farm renovation including intercropping macadamia trees for shade and income diversity. Mill innovations have also vastly improved water management and quality control from picking to export. More than 50 full time employees have access to housing and land to grow food crops for their families.
