Tanzania Iloma Natural

In Tanzania they usually produce Washed process coffees.  This unique Natural process, shows what diverse profiles can come from this historic growing region.  With notes of blackberry jam, and black pepper, this is a fantastic coffee.

Founded in 2011 the Iloma AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) represents about 500 members who bring their cherry to be processed at the centralized wet mill.  In the case of natural coffees, the cherries are sorted before being dried on raised beds, and prepared for export.

Look for brown sugar sweetness, with tangerine acidity and rich dark berry sweetness.  Think blackberry jam, at lighter roasts.  If you develop this coffee further, look for distinct dark chocolate and berry tones with a more pronounced spice character.
