＜High-Altitude Farm Dedicated to Quality＞

Acacia Hills is a farm located at the foot of Mount Oldeani in the Ngorongoro area of Tanzania, which has been producing specialty coffee since 2007.

With the goal of enhancing the value of Tanzanian coffee, which was then only recognized as a commodity, they began production with quality as their top priority. In the blessed environment of a high altitude of nearly 1,900m, they have steadily improved quality through meticulous efforts not often seen in other producing regions, including soil analysis, shade management, controlled fermentation, and drying under shade.

 

＜The Farm's Stance of Coexisting with the Environment＞

The farm is adjacent to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and is located within a rich natural environment inhabited by diverse wildlife. Within the environmental constraints that prevent further development, Acacia Hills continues coffee production while seriously addressing environmental protection.

Furthermore, by providing stable employment and fair wages to the community, new shops and businesses have emerged around the farm, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy. The farm also has lodging facilities and accepts staff who can work year-round, valuing its deep connection with the community.

 

＜Careful Harvesting and Processing＞

During harvest, experienced pickers (approximately 90% women) carefully select only ripe red cherries, one by one. After harvesting, immature and overripe beans are meticulously removed through hand sorting. After the fruit skin is removed by a pulper, the mucilage is broken down in fermentation tanks over 36 hours, and then washed. Drying of top-grade beans is managed on African beds under shade nets, taking at least 15 days until the parchment is sufficiently dry. Finally, after hulling and grading in a dry mill, the beans are carefully finished.
