This is the other non organic ground coffee we stock from Grumpy Mule but it is part of Grumpy Mule's relationship range. Grumpy Mule's Tanzania Footprint coffee was listed in the Independent's top 10 of ground coffee - 


The Tanzania Footprint ground coffee is grown on the Blackburn Estate by producers Michael and Tina Gerhrkin. It is a single estate coffee and is 100 per cent pure arabica.


Tasting notes: This is strength 4 and is frutiy and spicy. Intense, with notes of blackcurrant and a long liquorice finish.


This coffee is exclusive to Grumpy Mule.


Please note. All Grumpy Mule omni-grind coffees are ground to suit cafetieres, filters and percolators.


Great for breakfast or indeed any time of day. Best suited to cafetières, filters and percolators.


Grumpy Mule has chosen a unique lot of “peaberries”, where the two beans usually found within a coffee cherry have fused into one – these are then separated at the milling stage and batched together. The taste is more intense and very fragrant.


Another of East Africa’s most distinguished coffee plantations, the Blackburn Estate is owned and managed by passionate husband and wife team Michael and Tina Gehrken. It can be found on the western slopes of Mount Oldeani in Northern Tanzania, an idyllic farm gazing down on the wide valley below.


Being located near to the scenic Ngorongoro conservation area, both elephants and water buffalo are frequent “trespassers” on the estate. The huge elephant footprint Ian found one morning during his visit has inspired the name of this exceptional coffee. They’d actually taken an overnight liking to one of the estates underground water pipes and had impressively excavated it to create a spontaneous watering hole!


The attention to harvesting and processing detail on this estate is incredible, resulting in a wide selection of micro-lots, from the different zones of the farm, that each have their own subtle nuances and aromas. Pickers select only the very ripest cherries from the historic Bourbon and Kent Arabica coffee trees, many of which were first planted in 1931. The cherries are pulped and the coffee fermented in the cool, overnight conditions before being carefully washed the next morning ready to be sun-dried on shaded nets. All stages are meticulously controlled and monitored.


Part of the range of relationship coffee from Grumpy mule - single estate and family run farms which are not only the world's finest producers but give something back to the community and the environment.
