Coffee palate: Kenyan coffee is famous for its distinctive and complex berry and fruit flavors, with sweet flavors and tight acidity.

Kenyan coffee has a wonderful fruit flavor, tastes like BlackBerry and grapefruit, and is a favorite of many coffee gluttons.

Although Kenya (kenya) borders Ethiopia, there are obvious differences in variety, bean appearance and flavor. Kenya beans are fully collected and washed, the beans are fat and full, and the strong berry aroma fascinates coffee fans most, as well as the sour aromas of black plum juice and grapefruit, as well as the sweet smell of sugarcane, which is the most typical flavor of Kenyan beans.

The Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very seriously and responsibly, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. Kenyan coffee buyers are world-class high-quality coffee buyers, and no other country can grow, produce and sell coffee on a continuous basis like Kenya. All coffee beans are first acquired by the Kenya Coffee Commission (CoffeeBoardofKenya, CBK), where they are identified, graded, and then sold at weekly auctions, where they are no longer graded. The Kenya Coffee Commission only acts as an agent to collect coffee samples and distribute them to buyers so that they can determine the price and quality. The Nairobi auction is for private exporters and the Kenya Coffee Commission pays growers a price below the market price. The best coffee grade is bean berry coffee (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB and so on. The fine coffee is shiny, delicious and slightly alcoholic.
