"Glenmalure is a small specialty coffee farm near Ngila Estate Ltd in Northern Tanzania. The farm sits on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater and has grown coffee for around 100 years in an altitude from 1600 to 1650 masl. We grow traditional varietals like Kent, Bourbons and SL28 and also new ones like Batian, Gesha and Pacamara. Our coffees grow under the shade of native trees and we are keeping about 80 ha of preserved original rainforest next to the plantation, going up to more than 1800 m high. This forest is connected to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and to the Serengeti plains. We are using natural insecticides, like Neem extract. We work with compost but also with mineral fertilizers. We do traditional fully washed coffees with a water-saving Colombian eco-pulper. We use only 1 litre of water to pulp 1 ton of cherries." - Vera Stucker, owner of Glanmalure farm
This particular coffee was hand harvested from the Kent varietal trees. This particular varietal was introduced to Tanzania in the 1920's and is widely grown in the country. After harvest the coffee was pulped using a low water penagos ecopulper then fermented and washed before drying on raised tables.
We are very pleased to be able to share a Tanzanian coffee with our subscribers and tasting notes include tangerine, apricot, maple, dark chocolate.
