Coffee Tours

Travel time: 3 to 4 hours

Most tourists visit Moshi because it is the starting point for climbing Mt. If you have a few free days before or after the trek, a visit to the coffee plantations around Moshi is a must. The Kilimanjaro coffee, spread out on the slopes of Africa’s highest mountain, grows in volcanic soil surrounded by banana trees, giving the beans a crunchy texture and sweet aroma.

A coffee tour in Moshi is a great way to learn about the coffee growing process and how the Chagga people, with their high altitude farming techniques, produce high quality coffee beans.

Both Arabica and Robusta are grown in Tanzania, but more than 70% of the coffee beans are Arabica. Arabica is a high quality bean with a mild flavor and strong aroma, while Robusta is a bitter, hard, less refined bean. Arabica coffee is grown at high altitudes (1,400 to 2,000 meters), and the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro are the perfect environment for Arabica coffee to grow. Tanzania produces 1% of the world’s Arabica coffee.

After a tour on the history of coffee, you will roast the beans on a charcoal stove, grind them into powder with a mortar and pestle, and brew your own cup of coffee.

After the tour, we will take you back to your hotel, where you can finish the rest of the day and spend the night.
