Flavour: This coffee is well balanced, full bodied, smooth and complex, with notes of raspberry and plenty of sweetness.

The coffee is grown on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. A combination of altitude (1,700 meters above sea level) and the exceptionally fertile volcanic soil common to the crater area allow the coffee plants to flourish in their natural environment. Clear and untreated water from the forest is used for irrigation and coffee processing.

The entire coffee production, from cherry picking to washing and drying, is carefully monitored and constantly improved. The estate also has its own coffee nursery. Parts of the estate not used for agriculture are being re-planted with trees to restore the forests.

Apart from the eco-friendly farming methods that have a positive effect on the environment and the local community, social responsibility is at the heart of operations at the estate, with the proceeds from the coffee returned to the community. An education fund has been set up for the local school, and the employees are provided with the housing and day care facilities.
