 【Impression】
Medium, Clear body, light smooth texture, purely  transparent, fruity note such as fresh white strawberry with scent of guava, dark chocolate sweetness harmonized with dried fig and cranberry chip, subtle bitterness, light orange like citrus acidity caressing,  earthy spice accent, juicy sweetness softly cored delicate bitterness as short lasting aftertaste.  Clear juicy feeling stays when served as hot.
Earthy & moderate flavor may work wonderful in summer season as cold coffee.
【Note】

Arusha is one of the best coffee cultivated area in Tanzania.  Especially in  Ngorongoro Conservation Area, many wonderful micro farmers are located and growing specialty beans like COE winning lots.  Nitin Estate is located on the slopes of the extinct volcano of Mount Oldeani in Northern Tanzania, near  Ngorongoro Conservation Area.  Blessed with volcanic soil and pure spring water, this estate uses natural spring water in processing.  Only Fully matured beans are handpicked, examined before processing.  The farm uses the shade of the Albizzia trees to protect it from the intense African sun. Elephants and buffalo from the nearby Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania’s largest game preserve, are often seen wandering through the coffee fields.
