From Bean to Cup: Experience the Art of Coffee at Arusha Coffee Lodge Guide
Arusha Coffee Lodge offers a unique and immersive experience for coffee lovers. More than just a place to stay, it's a working coffee plantation where you can witness the entire coffee-making process, from bean to cup. Nestled amidst lush coffee bushes, the lodge provides a tranquil escape and a fascinating insight into the world of Tanzanian coffee. The lodge is situated on a working coffee plantation that has been producing high-quality Arabica coffee for generations. The area around Arusha is known for its fertile volcanic soil and ideal climate for coffee cultivation. The lodge itself is designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, offering comfortable accommodations and stunning views of the plantation. Guests can participate in a guided coffee tour, learning about the cultivation, harvesting, processing, and roasting of coffee beans. You'll have the opportunity to pick your own beans (during harvest season), witness the washing and drying process, and learn about the different roasting techniques. Of course, the highlight is the coffee tasting, where you can sample various blends and appreciate the nuances of Tanzanian coffee. The lodge also offers delicious meals featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients, often incorporating coffee into the recipes.
