Tanzania

Muhurile Amcos is a small cooperative located at around 1,100 meters above sea level in the northwestern region of Tanzania, known as Kagera, near Lake Victoria.
This area is characterized by permeable and porous soil, which retains just the right amount of water to provide the plants with a constant supply of moisture. It is precisely this balance between soil, altitude, and climate that promotes the production of high-quality Robusta coffee, with a clean and richly aromatic profile.

The cooperative is composed mainly of women, who play an essential role in providing technical and financial support to local small-scale farmers. Their daily commitment contributes to improving agricultural practices and fostering the economic and social growth of rural communities in the region.

The coffee produced by Muhurile Amcos is certified organic, cultivated with full respect for the environment and biodiversity. The plants grow without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, relying instead on sustainable farming practices and natural fertilizers.

During the harvest season, from April to July, the coffee cherries are handpicked at full ripeness. The beans then undergo natural processing and are dried on raised beds, with the cherries turned regularly to ensure even drying and a careful selection of the finest beans.
