Single Origin

THE HONEY PROCESS is all about balance.

If you love discovering new origins and experiencing coffee at its most expressive, this is one to add to your daily ritual.

Nestled on the lush slopes of the Mbeya Highlands in southern Tanzania, Utengule Coffee Estate has been producing exceptional coffee for generations. The region's rich volcanic soils, high elevations, abundant rainfall and cool mountain climate create the perfect conditions for slow-ripening cherries, allowing the beans to develop a remarkable sweetness and complexity.

Each cherry is selectively hand picked at peak ripeness before being processed on the estate. This meticulous attention to detail, from cultivation through to drying, allows the unique character of the origin to shine through in every cup.

After harvesting, the outer skin of the coffee cherry is removed, but the sticky fruit layer (known as the mucilage) is left on the bean as it slowly dries under the African sun. During this time, the natural sugars from the fruit are absorbed into the bean, enhancing sweetness while preserving the coffee's vibrant acidity and clarity.

The result is a beautifully expressive cup that bridges the gap between washed and natural coffees, offering a silky body, layered fruit notes and a lingering caramel sweetness that makes every brew memorable.
