COFFEE TOUR AND WATERFALLS

Tanzania is coffee country! For a half day excursion, those interested can visit a small-scale coffee farmer Arusha, who will show you everything you need to know about coffee cultivation. You will be taken through all the steps, from planting the seedling to the making of the final cup of delicious hot coffee. Guided by a local farmer, you will witness the whole process of coffee production from bean to cup.

The farmer will also explain to you about organic coffee farming and fair trade standards. The tour includes a locally prepared lunch and a homemade cup of coffee.

The tour was set up by two young boy  and contributes to income-generation of small-scale coffee farmers, making them less dependent on the fluctuating world market prices for coffee and seasonal effects related to farming.

Coffee from Arusha is of high quality and is popular worldwide due to its low level of acidity. For Tanzania, the Tanzania coffee is the most important “cash crop” of the country. On the plantation that you visit, coffee plants are grown, coffee beans harvested, dried, the beans separated off the undesirable ingredients and bagged. You can participate in all the steps.

Duration of the tour: 3-5 hours
