AHRAMANIC TRANCE, Tanzania

Mango Daiquiri, Peach Tea, Honeydew

Ahramanic Trance is produced by Finagro at the Edelweiss Coffee Estate in the Karatu District of Tanzania's Arusha region. Bourbon and Kent are taken through a carbonic citric natural at 1,650 to 1,800 MASL, giving mango daiquiri, peach tea and honeydew.

Bourbon is one of the two archetypal Arabica varieties, descended from Yemeni stock via Reunion. It is loved for rounded sweetness and complexity, at the cost of lower yield.

In the natural process, whole cherry is dried intact so the bean steeps in its own fruit. Done with discipline it builds heavy sweetness, body and pronounced berry character, with no shortcuts at the drying stage.

Tanzania's southern highlands around Mbeya grow Bourbon-type coffee at altitude, producing bright, sweet, clean cups.
