Perched on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, both the farm and coffee of Acacia Hills stand beautiful and compelling. Nestled in our long-standing relationship with Acacia Hills is a constant care and dedication to their community and their craft. A three-hour drive from the city of Arusha in Northern Tanzania, this long-term partner of Five Senses is surrounded by some of Africa’s most dramatic, wildlife-filled landscapes. Year on year we’ve been impressed with not only the ever-growing coffee quality but also the leadership Leon and Aideen have provided to fellow producers and the local community. From hosting a yearly cupping competition inspiring higher standards to supplying fresh water to the local village, Acacia Hills has been sowing impact alongside their delicious coffees.

This washed coffee from Five Senses originates in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater region, produced by Acacia Hills. The washed process typically emphasizes cleaner, brighter characteristics, and this lot delivers a warm sweetness anchored by chocolate and caramel notes with a bright citrus edge. The roaster identifies orange chocolate, light fudge, and caramel in the cup—a profile suggesting balanced body with approachable sweetness rather than heavy intensity.

Coffees from this volcanic crater region often carry distinctive mineral undertones alongside fruit and sweetness. Whether you're exploring flavor profiles or seeking a versatile daily coffee, Acacia Hills' washed offering provides the structural clarity typical of its processing method paired with the regional character of Tanzanian beans.
