FLAVOR: Black Currant, Dried Fig, Cocoa Powder, Black Tea, Brown Sugar, Lemon & Lime
BODY: Light
ACIDITY: Bright
PROCESS: Washed
The Grivas family took up stewardship of GDM Farm over 20 years ago, and as the second generation to manage one of the few Tanzanian-owned coffee estates, Richard Grivas has his sights set on improving quality and the local community through the farm. Over 200 seasonal workers are part of GDM’s operation, and the farm also supports a network of smallholders living in the surrounding vicinity.
Only around 5% of Tanzania’s green coffee comes from large estates. GDM Farm spans 400 hectares at an altitude of 1980msl in the southern highlands near the Mbozi meteorite that was discovered in the 1930s.
GDM Farm produces 300 metric tons of washed Arabica and 100 metric tons of natural Arabica green coffee annually. Most of Tanzania’s coffee volume is wash processed, but estates like GDM Farm have the resources to carry out uncommon methods like naturals to further explore the flavor profiles that Tanzanian green coffee has to offer.
Bourbon and Kent are the typical varietals grown in Tanzania, but the threat of coffee berry disease and leaf rust has motivated the Tanzania Coffee Research Institute to develop new, compact hybrids that are both disease-resistant and high-yielding.
