Meet the person behind the harvest

Karibu — I’m Shaib.

I come from Mwanza, Tanzania, and I have lived in Zanzibar for the past five years. Here, coffee and spices became my passion.

I enjoy recognising aromas, explaining how spices are used and combining them into balanced blends for cooking, grilling and drinks. For me, spices are part of Zanzibar’s culture, history and welcome.

“My goal is to share the authentic taste and aroma of Tanzania — personally, honestly and with care.”
