cacao nibs, hojicha, and strawberry

This coffee starts off with a grounded, earthy vibe that tastes a lot like cacao nibs—deep and chocolatey without being sweet. As you keep sipping, a really clear toasted nuttiness comes through, similar to hojicha, giving the cup a warm, cozy feel. Toward the finish, there’s a light touch of strawberry hanging out in the background, adding a gentle sweetness and a soft pop of acidity that keeps everything balanced. It’s an easygoing, comforting cup with just enough complexity to stay interesting.

we’ve met The Sambewe AMCOS face to face, here is our story with them

We've been lucky to build relationships with coffee producers around the world, but there's something special about the way people come together in Tanzania. Sambewe AMCOS is one of those places where you can see what's possible when farmers decide their future is stronger together. We've started buying from them using our great partnership with Cafe Imports, a certified B-Corp, and we're glad to share their story.

Tanzania

You can break down the history of coffee in Tanzania (tan•zuh•nee•uh) into three eras, their ancient beginning, their period of colonization, and their current post-colonialization era. Each era has brought significant changes to coffee production. The current cultivating climate has shifted from a lot of government intervention to more freedom allowing for more privatizing of farms and more individual responsibility for farmers. Tanzania coffee production is a testament to the resiliency of people overcoming obstacles to see a better quality of life.
