This bean-to-cup interactive experience introduces travellers to the age-old process of roasting and brewing coffee. It begins with a short guided tour of a smallholder coffee farm where you learn about the cultivation of arabica coffee, one of Tanzania’s major export commodities. You will then proceed to our private garden for step-by-step instructions on how to husk, roast, grind and brew your own coffee using traditional handmade utensils.
The process is entirely manual and you begin by pounding the dried beans in a large wooden mortar and pestle to remove the outer husk. The beans are then roasted in a clay pot over a charcoal fire which endows them with a more rustic flavour. Once roasted, the beans are pounded into a fine powder and you then brew and enjoy a cup of your organic, single-origin coffee.
