From the highlands of Mbozi District in Songwe, Tanzania, this light roast AA-grade washed lot from Iloma AMCOS showcases the vibrant character East African coffees are loved for. Grown at 1,830 masl by nearly 400 smallholder farmers across five villages, the coffee reflects both the rich volcanic terroir of the region and the collaborative spirit of the Iloma cooperative.
Carefully roasted to a light profile to highlight its clarity and complexity, the cup opens with sweet citrus aromatics layered with manuka honey and berry jam. Expect notes of red plum, cranberry, mixed berries, and delicate red tea, carried by a smooth, syrupy body and finishing with lingering hints of honey and red date tea. Its bright, refined acidity gives the coffee a lively and elegant structure that shines especially well in filter brews, while still offering a vibrant espresso experience.
With an SCA score of 87.42, Tanzania Iloma is a fruit-forward coffee that celebrates the resurgence of Tanzania’s specialty coffee scene.
