Background:
This lot is a blend of peaberries comprised of the deliveries of smallholder farmers located in the area around Mbeya, Tanzania. Each farmer owns an average of 0.4 hectares of land, and deliver their ripened cherry to a central processing unit run by an AMCOS, an agricultural marketing cooperative society. This lot contains coffee from four AMCOS: Bahanko, Mshewe, Muungano, and Utengule. The coffee is delivered in cherry form and depulped upon sorting. Then they are given a fermentation for a maximum of 72 hours, weather-depending, before being washed and dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.
