Just Landed: New Crop Tanzania – Iyenga AB, Fully Washed 🇹🇿

Iyenga village—once part of Itumpi—became its own community in 1974 after residents faced challenges accessing government resources. Since then, the village has grown to include essential infrastructure like a hospital and school, supporting its development and independence.

Today, the Iyenga Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society (AMCOS), established in 2003 under the Tanzanian Cooperative Act, brings together 292 members (34 women and 258 men). During harvest, farmers deliver ripe cherries to a central processing unit, where they are carefully hand-sorted, pulped, washed, and sun-dried over 9–10 days. This meticulous process ensures only the highest-quality beans reach your cup.

This lot features a blend of Kent, Bourbon, N39, and Compact varietals. The Compact varietal—developed by Tanzania Coffee Research Institute—offers resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) and Leaf Rust, supporting smallholder farmers with improved resilience and higher yields.

Tasting notes: caramel, blackberry & brownie.
