ROCKET SUMMER - Tanzania

Established in 2003 with 191 members, the Iyenga coffee farmer cooperative operates within the fertile Songwe region of Tanzania. the local farmers traditionally employ a sustainable intercropping system where coffee trees grow alongside food crops like bananas and beans to maintain soil health. through a strategic partnership with Taylor Winch Tanzania, the cooperative has modernised its infrastructure with an eco depulper and wet mill to ensure rigorous quality control. this union of traditional farming and modern processing allows the cooperative to consistently produce high quality arabica for the international market. the resulting beans reflect the unique terroir of the region while ensuring that the farming community remains economically resilient through diversified agriculture.
