A culmination of over 400 smallholder farmers who all share a central processing facility.

Resembling sour gummy worms, this coffee is full of sweetness and acidity, complemented by malty undertones.

Sambewe represents more than 440 smallholder farmers, all of whom live in or around the villages of Sambewe, Itumpi, Nansama, Iyenga, and Ileya in the Mbozi district of Tanzania.
