Tanzania Mbeya and Songwe

Grown in the highlands of Mbeya and Songwe, Tanzania, this award-winning Peaberry coffee is a testament to the dedication of the Isaiso Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society (AMCOS). Founded in 2008, Isaiso AMCOS represents 350 smallholder farmers who cultivate their crops at altitudes between 1,350 and 1,490 meters. In 2023, their exceptional Peaberry coffee won the Tanzania Fine Coffee Competition—an achievement that reflects years of commitment to quality and innovation! With a washed process that enhances clarity, this coffee showcases a bright, nuanced profile, highlighting the unique characteristics of peaberries: smaller, denser beans with concentrated flavors.

Peaberry coffee occurs naturally when a single seed forms inside the cherry instead of two, resulting in rounder beans that roast evenly and develop vibrant, complex notes. In Tanzania, AMCOS cooperatives like Isaiso are essential, managing 95% of the country’s coffee production and ensuring smallholders receive support in processing and global distribution. Each sip of this peaberry selection tells the story of resilience, tradition, and the collective effort behind some of Tanzania’s finest coffees.
