{"product_id":"tanzania-mbeya-igale","title":"Tanzania Mbeya Igale","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Tanzania is grown in Mbeya, down in the Southwest corner of the country bordering Zambia. Mbeya is a growing region in Tanzania, and Igale is the washing station. This is a microlot grown by one of the farmers near the washing station, of just the bourbon varietal, and sorted out of just the peaberries so they will roast evenly. As a result, this coffee is more complex and higher grade than a lot of the country's harvest. The altitude here is as much as 5,000 feet above sea level, which tends to help produce a denser bean, easier to roast, more complexity, and no need for pesticides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexity of this coffee is nice! Apricot (grapefruit if its a few degrees lighter, with some lemon and peach), wine-like grape, juicy. It is almost a Kenya, but maybe sweeter and not quite as complex. A nice full bodied, winey, fruity, bright mug of coffee. It has a sparkling brightness, and slight tartness, but not enough to be offputting. As you approach 2nd cracks, the acidity tames out and the complexity is simplified, but you have a medium roast coffee with creamier body and a fruity aftertaste. You really can't go wrong. As a French Roast, you find that it holds up really well -- much the way that a french roasted Kenya would -- and obviously you lose the nuances and acidity of the the lighter roasts, but it makes for a sweet and exotically aromatic french roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS Arrival May 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50918470877471,"sku":null,"price":7.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/products\/810.jpg?v=1738611697","url":"https:\/\/happymugcoffee.mom\/products\/tanzania-mbeya-igale","provider":"Happy Mug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
