Beskrivning

Surrounded by indigenous forests at the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area,
you can find Edelweiss Estates. The farm, which stretches from 1,650 to 1,820 meters
above sea level, was founded by German settlers around 1900, taken over by the
British administration after World War II, and bought by Mr. BN Vohora in 1969. Today,
the farm is run by Neel and Kavita Vohora, a brother-and-sister team who also manage
two other farms belonging to their family: Ascona and Helgoland.

As Edelweiss Estate is located in a very remote region in Northern Tanzania, the team
has a strong engagement with the surrounding communities. They run various
sustainability projects to support local families and protect the natural environment.
They provide apprenticeships at the farm, support local schools, and founded nurseries
for their employees’ children.

Neel and Kavita grow varieties such as Bourbon, SL-28, SL-34, Kent, and Geisha on
their farms. We are thrilled to be able to offer one of their washed Geishas. Like all of
their lots, this Geisha was carefully harvested and processed. The cup is citric and
delicate, with elegant notes of oolong tea, lemongrass, lychee, and apple.
