Tanzania Mondul AA

From Red Fox (importer)- “Mondul Coffee Estates was founded in 1931 by the Davico family. The estate was acquired by Burka estates in 2007. It’s situated at an altitude between 1600 to 1800 meters above sea level. The total land area of the estate is 511 hectares, of which over 230 hectares is fully dedicated to coffee trees.

This estate is situated on the slopes of Monduli in the district of Monduli of the Arusha region in the northern highlands of Tanzania.

The predominant variety in Arusha is Kent, and much of what grows are hybrids or Bourbon mutations similar to those in Kenya—not varieties you see anywhere else. Even though the profile is approachable, it’s still distinct.

After pulping, the coffee is fermented overnight to break down the sugars, before traveling through channels to the soaking tank where the coffee is carefully cleaned, soaked and spread out on the raised drying tables.

Waste water used in the processing is discarded in soaking pits, and is also recirculated for conservation. 

Due to a long relationship with our export partner, we have exclusivity on this washing station. They’re ready to work together to bring these coffees into our segment of the high-end specialty market where they can be properly appreciated.”
