Perched on the fertile slopes of Mount Meru, Burka Estate is one of Tanzania’s oldest coffee estates. The estate spans over 500 hectares, with more than 300 hectares under coffee and approximately 477,000 trees planted in slightly acidic volcanic loams. The estate draws water from natural springs for washing and grows most of its coffee under shade to support plant health and quality. Beyond coffee, Burka places strong emphasis on improving livelihoods - employing around 150 staff, investing in occupational health and safety, and supporting sports and recreation programs that enhance quality of life for its community.
