Not Another Boring Roastery brings you coffee that definitely lives up to its name. Tanzania Korongo AB welcomes you with the sweet smile of apricots, the juicy acidity of blackcurrants, and a pleasant cocoa finish that lingers on the palate like memories of a vacation by the African lakes. This selection has a full body, distinctive sweetness, and confident elegance—just like the flamingo whose name it proudly bears. However, its story does not take place on the shores of a lagoon, but on the slopes of southern Tanzania, where it was created as part of the Sucafina Originals range. And because it is filter roasted, don't expect any dullness – just a perfectly balanced experience.
The beans for this coffee are not grown on giant plantations, but on hundreds of small farms ranging in size from 0.5 to 2 hectares. You will find them in the Mbeya, Mbozi and Mbinga regions, at an altitude of 1,600–1,900 meters above sea level, where the best that the Tanzanian highlands have to offer is produced by the hands of careful farmers. Farming here is not just about coffee – crops such as corn, beans, sunflowers and ginger grow side by side with coffee trees, enriching the soil and bringing greater stability to farmers. Sucafina Tanzania supports farmers not only through fair trade, but also through training, certification, and assistance in transitioning to more sustainable forms of production. It is therefore no surprise that over 800 growers have already obtained Rainforest Alliance certification.
This coffee is fully washed —each coffee cherry undergoes a thorough washing process that highlights its purity and juiciness. After fermentation, the beans are dried on raised beds for 14 to 20 days, allowing them to ripen evenly and develop a complex flavor profile. This method is demanding but worth it – it is thanks to this that the coffee can achieve a cupping score of 84+ and stand out for its clarity, structure, and elegance. The result is a coffee that is not only beautiful on paper but, above all, exceptional in the cup.
