About this coffee
Acacia Hills has won private auctions in Tanzania with its gesha lots, making Leon one of the forerunners for bringing about higher quality and rare varietals to the country. Tanzania has an important chapter in the story of gesha. After its discovery in Ethiopia, gesha was taken to the Lyamangu Coffee Research Station in Tanzania; where the plants were successfully cultivated and subsequently distributed throughout Central America. Despite the fact that Tanzania had such an early introduction with gesha, the industry in Tanzania is still in its infancy. Ok cool, but what does it taste like? This is our second year that we have this coffee and again it’s been tasting outstanding. For those who don’t know what to expect from Tanzania, just think of the flavors from Kenya, Rwanda and gesha, combine these flavors and you will have an idea. It’s bright like the Tanzanian sun, it’s very juicy like the lush Tanzanian forest. It’s just very nice, like the Tanzanian people.
