Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.
In Kenya, agriculture has made a significant contribution to GDP and local employment, and coffee is Kenya's second largest export after tea. The main coffee bean variety produced in Kenya is Arabica, which is rated as one of the best quality coffee varieties in the world and is mainly used to mix with some lesser coffee varieties to improve the overall quality of coffee. In recent years, however, the market share of Kenyan coffee has shrunk step by step due to strong competitors from other countries and an oversupply of the market.
I. Kenyan Coffee-status quo
Kenyan coffee beans the Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very seriously, 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 auction in Nairobi 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. Auctions are also organized to meet the needs of dispatchers. This kind of auction usually has a small auction volume (3-6 tons each), with samples with the grower's logo for buyers to enjoy. After the auction, the exporters pack according to different flavors, different qualities and the quantity required by the blenders. This provides a great deal of flexibility for the dispatcher. Quality-conscious Germans and Scandinavians are long-term buyers of Kenyan coffee.
Some buyers, especially Japanese businessmen, have expressed dissatisfaction with the Kenyan coffee industry system. Some businessmen say that the quality of coffee in the country has declined, and point out that buying directly from farmers may be a way to improve the quality. But in any case, Kenya's detailed rules and regulations and sound procedures are a model for all coffee-producing countries.
Kenya Coffee-Flavor
It has wonderful and satisfying aromas, well-balanced acidity, well-proportioned particles and excellent fruit flavors. The taste is so unique that there is almost no similar coffee. Kenyan coffee is characterized by a distinctive fruity aroma. Try to find this flavor in the coffee and pay attention to how it feels in the mouth. One of the common fruit aromas is citrus. Kenyan coffee has a multi-layered taste and the acidity of fruit juice, perfect grapefruit and wine flavor, medium mellow.
High-quality Kenyan coffee is aromatic, full-bodied and fruity, with a rich and perfect taste. Kenyan coffee has a wonderful fruit flavor, tastes like BlackBerry and grapefruit, and is a favorite of many coffee gluttons. This coffee has an excellent medium purity, crisp and refreshing taste. It has a fresh flavor and is most suitable for drinking iced coffee in summer. When tasting this coffee, if it is paired with sour fruits such as grapefruit, it will certainly give me the best coffee experience. "not much like coffee, but a bit like fruit tea" is the common feeling of many people about this kind of shallow roasted Kenyan coffee.
In addition to having obvious and charming fruit acidity, Kenyan coffee is mostly from small coffee farmers, planted in a variety of different environments, encounter different climate and rainfall every year, and bring a variety of distinct and unique personalities. Take the AAPlus grade "KenyaAA+Samburu" as an example, the Samburu in 2001 has a strong aroma of black plum, the acidity is not high, and the taste is strong. The newly harvested Samburu in the winter of 2002 presents a completely different flavor, mulberry and green plum, with a little Nanyang spice (Spicy) flavor, after drinking, the aftertaste has the sweetness of green tea, the acidity is slightly higher than the year before, the taste is still strong. The common Kenyan taste is not strong, but it has a bright fruit-like flavor, some spicy and some red wine.
This is how Kenya makes coffee fans full of expectations and surprises!
