Since the 1920’s, co-ops have been forming in Tanzania to improve market access, however it has taken the country achieving independence in 1964 and a number of attempts to increase production for Tanzanian coffee to take off internationally. The 1990’s saw a reform and privatisation in coffee exports in the region, allowing growers to sell more directly and receive a more reasonable fee for their beans.
This is especially important as Tanzania is famous primarily for it’s separated peaberry lots. Peaberries are a natural mutation occurring in between 5-12% of the yield where instead of 2 seeds developing at the centre of a coffee cherry, only one seed forms and the extra space allows it to develop into a round shape with a more potent flavour. Due to uniformity requirements, peaberries must be sorted and separated from their flat bean counterparts.
