Cafea Perl Ngila Estate Tanzania

Plantatia este situata in Districtul Karatu pe pantele craterului Ngorongoro, inconjurata de rezervatia naturala forestiera Ngila. Altitudinea variaza intre 1600-1800 metri deasupra nivelului marii, cu sol vulcanic si precipitatii anuale intre 800-1200 mm. Varietatile de cafea cultivate aici sunt Kent, Bourbon, N si K. Plantatia a fost inceputa in seculul 20 de o familie germana si mai tarziu, dupa al doi-lea razboi mondial, preluata de fermieri britanici, care in 1990 au vandu-o familiei germane Rudolf Meyer. De atunci suprafata cultivata a fost marita substantial, si au fost aduse sisteme de irigare si noi echipamente de procesare.

De mai bine de zece ani cafeaua de pe plantatia Ngila a fost recunoscuta ca una din cele mai bune cafele Arabica procesate cu apa din zona craterului Ngorongoro. Apa Rauilui Endore, ce strabate parcul national Ngorongoro este folosita pentru fermentarea si curatarea boabelor de cafea Arabica, uscata la soare, cu boabe mari de o densitate ridicata si culoare gri-verzuie.

Intensitatea cafelei este ridicata, textura fina, aciditate medie, cu note citrice si lasa in gura o aroma ciocolatie.

Cafeaua se comercializeaza boabe. Daca o doriti rasnita, specificati granulatia dorita in comanda, in functie de tipul de cafea pe care il consumati.
