What Vits der Kaffee says about this coffee
Lunji Estate is a coffee farm in the southern highlands of Tanzania. With an altitude of about 1,600m above sea level, fertile soil and a suitable microclimate, the best conditions for growing one of the best quality African Arabica coffees have been met for decades. In 2013, for example, the coffee won a “Coffee of the year-award” in London and has acquired several important awards over the last few years.
The farm is located directly at the foot of the 2.839m high Mbeya Peak, the top of the Mbeya Range mountain chain. The view of this imposing colossus in the middle of the mountain range and the remarkable variety of plants and animals, give Lunji a breath-taking ambience.
Lunji is a medium-sized coffee plantation with 30 employees and up to 150 helpers who find work on the plantation at harvest time. The farm has been run by Clemens and Stella Maier for over 20 years and legally operates as a partnership between Clemens Maier, who is of German descent, and Thomas Plattner, who is Swiss. In addition to coffee, avocados, apples, chickens, pigs and a variety of different vegetables and fruits are also native to Lunji.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
Where each fact came from
A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
