MBILI TWIGA - TANZANIA
This coffee is a blend, and was named Mbili Twiga to reflect this coming together. Mbili Twiga translates as two giraffes. Bourbon was introduced by the French Missionaries and is common in the Kilimanjaro area, alongside Kent which was introduced from India. Hybrid and cultivar varieties from both of these now exist. N39 is a cultivar of Tanzania, from the Bourbon lineage selected back in the 1920’s though further selection is still ongoing through this line, and often still referred to as Bourbon.
