Tanzania

Tasting notes

About this bean

Tanzania is a light roast from Jasmin Coffee Roastery, sourced from Edelweiss Estate, Ngorongoro Crater. It features the Bourbon/Kent/Sl28 variety, processed using the honey + anaerobic method. Light roasts retain more of the origin character and tend to taste brighter, with more pronounced acidity. They are denser than darker roasts, so they usually need a finer grind and a longer extraction to dial in. The roaster lists tasting notes of Riesling, Raspberry, Rooibos and Pineapple. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 7 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 7.1 out of 10 across 7 ratings.
