About Smallholder producers of Tanzania, United Republic of

PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. is offering some mighty fine coffees from Tanzania this spring, like this one from the southern highlands where smallholders are catching the notice of specialty importers and roasters. This is great, because most coffee markets are in the north of the country. In order to sell there, Mbozi growers risk losing the traceability of their unique product, since coffees shipped north are usually mixed in with other lots and screened for size.

With the involvement of importers and roasters, and such nonprofit organizations as TechnoServe.org, things are looking better for these farmers, one step at a time. What can coffee lovers do to help that process? Sample these southern Tanzanian offerings! The more the demand for their coffees, the better the quality of life for these hard-working growers.
