ABOUT THE FARM:

Kanji Lalji Coffee Estate was acquired in 1956 and consists of 904 acres in Igamba, Mbozi. Ten years ago, a decision to redevelop the farm was made. This decision was primarily based on the quantity of coffee yield, which at the time was less than three tons. The redevelopment efforts focused on the removal of coffee trees, and a program of replanting and rehabilitation was undertaken.

This has been accomplished through replanting, reaching the required target of 165 hectares. The current production at the Estate stands at 158 tons and is expected to grow to 250 tons in the years to come. In the first season of production, the year 2000 season, The Estate won the Coffee Quality Award presented by the Tanzania Coffee Estate Association for the highest quality produced in the Estates Class.

The coffee is processed by an Eco Pulper, an environmentally conscious process that has lower water consumption and does not pollute the water in the process.
