The Story Behind the Cup: Tanzania Kilimanjaro – Gaia Estate

Grown on the fertile slopes surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro Crater, this exceptional Arabica reflects both nature’s abundance and generations of care. Gaia Farm, a 620-hectare, family-owned estate in Tanzania’s Karatu district, is led by siblings Neel and Kavita Vohora — third-generation coffee growers devoted to sustainable farming and quality craftsmanship.

Over a million coffee trees thrive here, each nourished by a drip irrigation system and processed through a central wet mill that ensures consistency while conserving water. The Vohora family’s Rainforest Alliance–certified farms balance innovation with stewardship — cultivating not just coffee, but macadamia, honey, and community partnerships that sustain the land and its people.

In the cup, you’ll find notes of dried orange, guava, caramel, and chocolate, with a hint of nutmeg — a flavor story as layered and vibrant as the place it comes from.
