This specific coffee is called Tanzania “Tumaini”, meaning “HOPE” in Kiswahili. This fully washed Rainforest Alliance coffee has a balanced cup, fine acidity, milk chocolate body with fruity flavors, berry and tobacco notes, bright sweetness and rounded with smooth finish. It is produced by APK, a business owned by a family group with deep roots in Colombia under the leadership of Alejandro Galante, which makes APK uniquely Tanzanian with a Colombian feel. Through the EFICO Foundation project 'Kilimanjaro Water and Food For all', APK, together with Herencia Value Your Legacy and EFICO seek to mitigate productive, social, environmental and financial risks for their operations in Tanzania, while improving resilience in their coffee value chain through the implementation of regenerative and water efficient agricultural systems for coffee and maize seeds in 2 APK farms to restore soil productivity and grant access to water and food for rural communities in Kilimanjaro.

By increasing water efficiency and reducing risks along the coffee & food value chains, Kilimanjaro Water & Food for All will improve living conditions for 2,700+ families. It deploys an innovative, comprehensive and scalable model for water management & regenerative agriculture to speed productivity recovery, secure rural water and maize seeds supply, reducing CO2 emissions through best irrigation and water use practices linked to water stewardship in 2 farms in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.  

This project aims to make the 4C guide available in French, Kiswahili and Amharic and enable broader dissemination among coffee producing communities in Western Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
