Mbozi, Tanzania
Washed Process Microlot
This washed process microlot opens with a vibrant berry sweetness and the clarity of steeped green tea. As the cup settles, the profile deepens into a syrupy, velvety mouthfeel defined by rich notes of dark maple syrup and 70 percent chocolate.
Grown at a high elevation of 1500 through 1700 MASL (meters above sea level), these beans develop a dense sweetness and complex acidity unique to the southern highlands.
Itumpi is a cooperative of smallholder farmers in the Mbozi district of Tanzania's southern highlands. The farmers grow Bourbon and Blue Mountain varieties on small plots and pool their coffee to reach the specialty market. The coffee is washed, soaked for 10 hours, and dried in the sun on raised beds.

Brew as you like, but our roasting team suggests:
The Hario V60 pour over method is ideal for high-altitude, washed coffees like the Itumpi because it highlights clarity and brightness. The paper filter traps oils and fine particles, allowing the vibrant berry sweetness and tea-like notes to shine without being overshadowed by a heavy body.
