About Tanzania Korongo
Our Tanzania Korongo (name for the Swahili word for flamingo) is sourced from a network of washing stations across Mbozi, Mbeya & Mbinga, in Tanzania’s Southern Highlands.
 
Korongo showcases Tanzania’s true potential, offering a consistent, fully traceable 84+ SCA cup score. Our Tanzania Korongo displays the best of Tanzanian flavour profiles with a full body, pronounced sweetness and prominent acidity.
 
This coffee is IMPACT verified. IMPACT is a responsible sourcing standard that focuses on 5 key impact areas to improve carbon emissions, human rights, regenerative agriculture, living income and deforestation. Through IMPACT verification, farmers can access new markets and increase their livelihoods while making a bigger positive impact through their production. IMPACT goes further by also delivering measurable improvement across 5 goals: reducing carbon emissions, reducing deforestation, promoting human rights for farmers and farm workers, improving living income for farmers and increasing the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices among farmers.
 
This coffee features a blend of 4 different coffee cherry varieties: blue mountain, bourbon, SL28 and typica. The coffee cherries are hand-harvested. The cherries are pulped using either an eco-pulper or standard pulper and then fermented. Following fermentation, parchment is dried on raised beds for 14-20 days. Once dry, the parchment rests for 2-3 months in cooperative warehouses before being transferred to mills in either Mbozi or Mbinga, districts in Southern Tanzania, to be prepared for export.
 
We roast this coffee to-order in small batches from our Northumberland based roastery to ensure optimum freshness and flavour by the time it makes it into your mug.
