In Tanzania, on the foothills of the Ngorongoro Crater and Mt. Oldeani, extends Tembo-Tembo, a coffee plantation in existence since 1935. The altitude located between 1850 and 1980 meters above sea level and the volcanic soils are ideal to produce a specialty grade Arabica coffee with a fine balanced cup. Tembo-Tembo, taken over by a Swiss family in 2010, no longer applies herbicides, fungicides or insecticide.
More than a hundred local employees take care of the 66.000 coffee trees, which will produce about 40 tons of precious beans. It is not uncommon to see elephants, buffaloes and antelopes criss-cross the estate through specially created animal corridors from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on our northern boundary.
