Tanzania's Famous Coffee Brands

Tanzania's famous coffee brands include Africafe, Tanica Cafe, and Kilimanjaro. Tanzania's coffee has long been deeply loved by Europeans, ranking among the premium brands. Europeans have given Tanzanian coffee the alias "coffee gentleman."

Africafe coffee, as one of the top representatives of Tanzanian AA coffee beans, is nurtured by volcanic ash—a coffee variety achieved by nature. The coffee carries a unique cocoa fruit aroma with strong, mellow richness.

Coffee Culture in Tanzania

Tanzanians often visit roadside open-air bars, ordering a bottle of beer or cola and sitting for half a day. Additionally, they also love drinking coffee. Tanzania produces coffee, and its brand Africafe's instant coffee is quite good—I often buy it to drink. When returning to my home country, it can also serve as one of the small gifts.

Furthermore, people in rural areas cannot afford this type of instant coffee. They generally drink local coffee in small towns. I have seen this local coffee preparation method in Dakawa: coffee beans are placed in a mortar and pounded into fine coffee powder with a wooden stick, then sifted. Then, the coffee powder is placed in a kettle with water and brewed into dark coffee. I have drunk it several times—the coffee flavor is still strong, but there's a burnt taste, and there are many grounds inside.

Africafe Coffee Shop

Africafe is a well-known local coffee shop, ranking fifth in Arusha on TripAdvisor. Or rather, it's a shop that leans more toward Western style, catering to the demographic that contributes to the ratings. Personally, I think it's a hamburger and sandwich shop that also sells coffee—it's quite tasty but doesn't have much local character. For travelers away from home, it's a relatively safe choice. Here is their fan page.
