Everyone loves coffee. But how is it grown and processed? Tanzania is exporting coffee and many people are working with it so you can enjoy it. On our trip you will learn the long journey of the coffee from seed to cup. The farm delivering coffee to us is all organic and Fairtrade. Why is that important? Usually the farmers gets a low payment for the coffee. Sometimes its not enough to get their children to school. We pay the farmers 3 times the normal price. The coffee trees are not sprayed with any chemicals making it safer for the farmer and more healthy for us drinking the end product. Dont miss this opportunity to learn about coffee.

The whole coffee story

5.00We walked around the coffee plantation while our local guide explained how the coffee plants were cultivated and protected without using pesticides. He also told us about the economic importance of this crop for the village and the region, historically and presently. As experienced hardcore coffee drinkers we had never seen a coffee plant up close...The next step was the processing of the beans and the different types of roasting. The comparative tasting made the whole explanation even more memorable.
Great Experience!

5.00Had a great tour through the village and learnt about the local community! Then we saw the agricultural fields and the coffee plantation. We also learnt a lot about how a cup of coffee is produced. Richard, our guide, explained everything very well and was very communicative.
Awesome experience

5.00Overall - this was fantastic. Our guide Samuel was wonderful. He took us through his hillside village of 7000 people. He showed us butcher shops, several churches, stores, the courthouse, his home, gardens, family. He was very knowledgable and tried very hard to teach us about his culture, way of life, etc. We walked about 4.2 miles. Easy walk. Special lunch and coffee making factory tour. Very glad we did this. Fun, educational, good exercise. 😀😀
A lucky find.

5.00The guide, Samuel, showed us the reality of coffee farming (as well as other small-scale farming) on an excellent walking tour through the area (including a village) around the coffee farms and roastery. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. This was a nearly perfect length (five or six hours including lunch) on our second day in Arusha (and Tanzania). He's articulate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and energetic. Give this one a try; you won't regret it.
Coffee farming 101

5.00We started with a tour of a Lutheran church built in the 1800's by Germans. It was simple and functional and interesting and beautiful. The walk from the church to the coffee farm was somewhat uphill on a dirt lane. Be prepared if it's a hot, dry day. The coffee farmer took us around his farm and educated us on every step involved in coffee farming. We hiked down a path through trees that was uneven. Well worth it but be prepared for a hike. We passed several villagers' homes to arrive at a beautiful home of a Scandinavian woman and her African husband where we were served a family-style lunch of delicious local dishes. It was way more than any of us could eat. We were able to buy coffee and handmade items. It was a great way to learn and see the local culture.

5.00Walk through the village and visiting a smal scale coffee farm was a very good cultural experience. Interaction with local children during the walk, insight view of local life. The tour ends with delicous lunch, coffee tasting and the option to buy fair-trade coffee. Great to activity to start a tour in Tanzania.
Relaxed tour to learn more about Tanzanian coffee history

5.00It was a pleasant surprise, we were staying in the 2Mountains Lodge without knowing very well what to visit and suggested the Quinta do café. It is 2 to 3 hours to walk through the region and to know all the processes of coffee production, from planting to packaging. At the end there is a house where we can buy some souvenirs and taste some of the types of coffee. The guide Samuel was very attentive, all in a very relaxed and friendly Mood.

5.00We loved the coffee walk, especially our wonderful guide Samwel! It was a lovely experience - interesting, educational and fun! Samwel was an amazing host, spending time taking us through the village, explaining some local customs, touring the farm and coffee factory. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and the company and conversation were fantastic. (Covid update - Samwel is vaccinated and wore a mask the entire car ride so we all felt very safe)
