It is based on field work and data analysis by an interdisciplinary team of AGRINATURA experts, in close cooperation with national experts from Sokoine University of Agricultural (SUA). We would like to acknowledge the cooperation received from public, private and civic organizations involved in the Tanzanian coffee sector. Special thanks to the authorities of the Tanzanian Coffee Research Institute (TaCRI), the Tanzania Coffee Board (TCB) and staff from the District Offices in Mbozi, Mbeya and Ileja. We also thank the EU Delegation in Dar-es- Salaam for their support to this study. The members of our field teams (Dr. Zena Mpenda and Ms Lucia Madala and their colleagues) played crucial role in collection and analysis of valuable data from actors of coffee value chain in the three districts. Their efforts and commitment is highly appreciated. However the collection of data and information would not have been possible without the willingness of numerous farmers, cooperative leaders, village members, local NGO representatives and coffee plant managers that shared their insights with us. We are extremely grateful for their hospitality and openness, and trust that their views are adequately reflected in this report.

  • Coffee Makers
    from the soul of slow coffee collection 2017 2017 will go slow “The appreciation of Slow Coffee has never been greater than it is today. In fact, it is the heart and soul of everything we’ve been doing since the 1950s, where my father – Peter Bodum – introduced our first vacuum coffee maker. And here on the brink of 2017, we’re excited to introduce e-PEBO: a fully automatic vacuum/siphon coffee maker that brings out the best in your preferred coffee beans. Brewing coffee with an e-PEBO: 1. Use cold water fresh from the tap. 2. Grind those flavorsome coffee beans right before brewing. 3. Turn on your e-PEBO and watch the miracle unfold. It looks like a science experiment, and that is no coincidence. Because this brewing method was invented in 1756 by a French chemist who needed a strong cup of steaming hot coffee while he was working. BODUM’s passion for good coffee is shared by coffee lovers across the world under the slogan: Make Taste, Not Waste. No paper filters. No capsules. Nothing disposable. In 2017 we will also launch a wide range of other new products, such as our new bar-line, mugs and electrical kitchen tools. Take your time and relax with a nice cup of coffee while you browse through this catalog.” 5 BODUM®’s Portuguesa 11 Coffee 12 Coffee Maker Comparison Chart 13 Coffee Brewing Methods 18 Coffee-House Style Drinks 34 Parts of The French Press Coffee Maker 35 Guide to Spare Beakers and Filter Parts 53 Tea 54 Tea Brewing Methods 56 Tea Presses and Teapots Comparison Chart 57 Parts of The Tea Press 58 Varieties of Tea 75 Cork Line 89 Drinkware 105 Kitchen 119 Grill 127 e-BODUM® 147 BODUM® Stores and Shop-In-Shops 150 BODUM® Offices BODUM® Portuguesa BODUM AG is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of BODUM products worldwide.

  • 1.0. Introduction
    FERTILITY LEVELS AND PATTERNS AMONG HIV-INFECTED AND UN-INFECTED WOMEN IN KYELA DISTRICT A CASE STUDY FROM TANZANIA. 1.0. Introduction The fertility transition, seen in many parts of the world, has been slow to start in Sub-Saharan Africa, although recent evidence suggests a moderate of fertility in few countries (UNAIDS, 2003). It is not clear how the HIV epidemic will alter future levels of fertility and what impact it will have on the nature of fertility transition. The contribution of HIV/AIDS to the fertility transition is not currently evident due to the fact that. For four reasons. First, isolating the factor of HIV/AIDS from other factors of fertility is a complex process because it is not a proximate variable, but one of the contributors to several proximate determinants of fertility. Secondly, for the impact of the epidemic to be felt, the prevalence has to be high in the region of 20 percent and be sustainable for a long time, about a decade or longer. Thirdly, behavior factors may reduce fertility of women with symptoms of AIDS, but not those asymptomatic. Fourthly, as infant mortality increases, the need to replace dead children and produce more to ensure survival of some will challenge implementation of family planning programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa and perhaps increase fertility. Also, increasing HIV prevalence in the region will mean that HIV/AIDS programmes will compete for resources with family planning progrmmes, which would weaken the latter (UNAIDS, 2003). Recent studies in Sub Saharan Africa have shown that fertility is reduced among HIV infected women compare with uninfected women.

  • The Archaeology of Mbeya Region, Southwestern Tanzania
    128 Notes Azania XI Archaeological survey in Mbeya Region, Southern Tanzania I" Azania XVII we included a paper by Thomas Wynn and Thomas Chadderdon on the distinctive LSA Kiwira Industry in Tukuyu District, between RunJ!We Mountain and the northern tip of Lake Nyasa . Tl1e present note place$ that work in the context of a broader survey in that reJ!ion by a team from the University of Illinois at Urbana . Sally McBrearty is complttinJ! her thesis at Urbana, Dr Waane is with the·Tanzanian An­ tiquities, while Dr Wynn is on faculty at the University of Colorado. While this volume of A-zania was in press, we discovered that, as a result of some unexplained com­ munication problem, another version of this paper had appeared in Tanzania Notes and Records, 88/89 {for 1982), pp, 15-32 , At this late staJ!e and in view of various editorial amendments and reduction aJ!reed with the authors when the note was offered to Azania and accepted in JIOOd faith, we have decided not to delete it from our proofs. We are happy to have the aJ!ret~ment of the editors ofTNR to this. Normally, however, we would not carry an article or note already published or accepted elsewhere. The TNR version will be valuable to a number of readers for its illustration of stone artefacts. In 1976 we undertook an archaeological survey of portions of lleje, Kyela, Mbeya, Mbozi and Tukuyu Districts of Mbeya Region in southern Tanzania. As no formal archaeological reconnaissance of the region had previously been undertaken, our intention was to establish the general outlines of prehistoric occupation of the area.
