Finagro | Tanzania
A balanced, fruit-forward cup defined by careful natural processing. Cultivated at extreme density in northern Tanzania, this Bourbon lot opens with clear notes of ripe strawberry and sweet pineapple, supported by a smooth base of creamy milk chocolate.
The Story
Produced at Finagro Plantations Ltd by the Vohora family in the Karatu district of Arusha. Established in 1955 by B.N. Vohora, the family operation brings over 60 years of agricultural and milling experience across three generations. Grown between 1,600 and 1,850 meters in mineral-rich volcanic soil, the Bourbon cherries undergo meticulous natural drying. This approach concentrates natural sugars within the exceptionally dense seed, yielding a cup that iLLUMinates the precision and legacy of high-altitude Tanzanian specialty coffee.

The Ritual
FINAGRO features a dense cellular structure that performs cleanly as both a nuanced filter brew and an espresso base.
- Filter (V60): A clean 1:15 brew ratio at 91°C. A steady, deliberate pour highlights tropical pineapple acidity and clean strawberry sweetness.
- Modern Espresso: Target a 1:2 ratio (18g in, 36g out) in 26–29 seconds. The high density yields a syrupy extraction dominated by concentrated red fruit and sweet milk chocolate.
