The view from Acacia Hills Estate is surreal. The northern border of the estate lies along the Southwestern side of Mount Oldeani, whose slopes drain water into Lake Eyasi, a key saltwater lake on the borders of Ngorogoro Conservation area and Serengeti National Park. From the edge of the farm, you can see the edge of Ngorogoro crater, an ancient collapsed volcano whose fertile valley is now home to dozens of different animal species: from African elephants to lions, rhinoceros, leopards and giraffes.

The land upon which the estate sits was previously 4 smaller farms, first cultivated by German settlers in the 1930s and 40s. In the 1960s, the four farms were united as the Acacia Hills Estate and the estate has been producing coffee ever since: a total of over 50 years.

In 2007, Leon and Aideen Christianakis, local Tanzanian coffee farmers, partnered with an American roaster to purchase and upgrade the estate to focus on specialty coffee production. Today, Leon and Aideen incorporate a wide variety of practices, including soil analysis, managed shade and processing methods, into their production to ensure the highest quality possible. 

The estate also features its own cupping lab that enables Leon and Aideen to analyze their coffees onsite.
