Producer overview
Leon and Aideen Christianakis cultivate coffee in the Ngorongoro and Ngorongoro Crater regions of Northern Tanzania. The agricultural land sits within an altitude band of 1800 to 1900 meters. The varietal landscape spans several distinct cultivars. The catalog records plantings of Kent, Geisha, Castillo, and Pacamara. The process portfolio focuses primarily on traditional methods with a small variation. The catalog documents washed and honey preparations across the available lots. The catalog footprint includes five total coffees, all of which are currently in stock. Five Senses Coffee is the single roaster carrying these lots, with harvest representations yielding an average Cherrybook Index of 62.4 across the offerings. Recent catalog examples feature several distinct lot configurations from Five Senses Coffee. These include an Acacia Hills Pacamara using a washed process, an Acacia Hills Honey utilizing a blend of Castillo and Kent, and an Acacia Hills Gesha prepared via a washed process. Additional entries consist of an Acacia Hills Peaberry and a standard Acacia Hills lot, both featuring Kent variety and washed processing. The work of Leon and Aideen Christianakis centers on cultivating multiple distinct varietals at high elevations in Tanzania for a dedicated roaster partnership.
