Region: Kilimanjaro- The highest point in Africa is the summit of Tanzania’s Mt. Kilimanjaro. Coffees from the Kilimanjaro region tend to be full-bodied, with chocolate and caramel notes. Most growers combine coffee and banana production in their gardens. Banana trees provide ideal shade for coffee plants and are a key part of the local diet, while coffee is primarily a source of cash income.
