UK EXCLUSIVE
A DELICIOUS COFFEE WITH AN AWESOME STORY.
We have recently bought some coffee from Ben’s washing station, Nyantira, which is located on Tanzania’s Northern border within the region of Tarime. This stands between two of the World’s great landmarks: the Serengeti National Park and Lake Victoria.
This washing station was built in 2020 due to the amazing work of Kajani Hai Coffee.
Farmers are now being paid 6 MONTHS FASTER AND THREE TIMES MORE for their coffee, which was only made possible by the value appreciation that a washing station can deliver.
The Nyantira washed coffee exudes the classic East African high citric acidity, smooth body and dark berry characteristics, it is A TRUE TITAN OF TANZANIA.
