【Note】
Tanzanian coffee may remind you of Kilimanjaro. Mbinga growing region locates in Ruvuma region, southern Tanzania, faces Lake Malawi. Ruvuma has been very well known coffee cherry growing region but milling stations were not well enough to list the name on the global coffee trading as high quality producers. Since 1997, if my memory is right, Ruvuma wet/dry mills has dramatically changed and came under the spotlight of Specialty coffee world. Compared to Kilimanjaro, Ruvuma has earthy and powerful flavor similar to Kenya, but has very clean mouth feel like Kilimanjaro.
