Kenya is a famous coffee producing country in East Africa, and it is also an important producing area of high-quality coffee in the world. Kenya coffee has a full flavor and strong characteristics, and the coffee trade method also has a set of fine system. The classification of coffee bean size, such as AA or AB, cannot be equated with the flavor. The bidding batch of the coffee bureau is based on the cup to test the flavor. The bidding price of the fine product Kenya remains high, and the competition of raw bean merchants from various countries is very fierce. The good reputation of Kenyan coffee comes from the technical research and development of academic units, careful education of farmers' knowledge related to coffee planting, and farmers' meticulous quality control; while the microclimate and fertile soil suitable for coffee growth, the high hardness of coffee beans and the traditional 72-hour long Kenyan washing method are all the reasons for the bright and sour characteristics of Kenyan coffee.

This batch of coffee comes from Asali, a honey cooperative in Neri Nyeri, and belongs to a large-grained AA batch. Light-roasted bright fruit acids will surprise your taste buds, while medium-and deep-roasted caramel spices can also satisfy heavy-tasting gluttons. the Honey Cooperative currently has 155members. the coffee is grown in the foothills of Alberdele Aberdare at an altitude of 1650m. Coffee varieties include SL28 and SL34. Farmers pick fully ripe coffee cherries by hand in March and send them to the treatment plant for peeling, water washing and fermentation, then pick them up and put them in an African scaffolding to dry them, turning them manually several times a day to remove defective beans and make sure they are evenly dried!

The dry aroma of shallow baking is sweet and honey, with a hint of elegant flowers and sweet and sour peaches, while the wet aroma turns to bright cranberries, plums and blackcurrants, with sweet and sour black sugar. the taste is sour and sweet, such as plum, citrus and cranberry fruit juice. the sweet and sour black sugar is also suitable, and the coffee shows the sour and sweet of California plum when the coffee temperature is cooler, and there is also a hint of red wine. The medium and deep baked dry aroma has strong caramel sweet with cocoa and Chinese fir essential oil, wet caramel sweet, Chinese fir with a hint of brandy, thick and thick taste, caramel sweet with dried litchi, some spices and brandy, dried lychee and dried cranberry sweet after the temperature drop, and bitter sweet Chinese fir and chocolate in the remaining rhyme.

Last week, when a guest came to have coffee, he said that the supervisor who used to work in a foreign company was the son of the hero (Robert Redford) in the Out of Afirca story in Africa. I immediately recalled that I didn't go to the theater to watch this 1986 Oscar best film when it was released (I was just a kid in junior high school, just trying instant coffee from Nestl é and Maxwell). It was years before I rented VCD to see it. The main axis of the story is the love story of the heroine (Meryl Streep), while the background is the Kenyan prairie and coffee farm from 1913 to 1931. In addition to the superb acting skills of the leading actors and actresses, the soundtrack of John Barry is even more unique, fully showing the vastness, majesty of the Kenyan prairie and the loneliness and interdependence of people in a foreign land. It is highly recommended to watch together while drinking this honey processing farm coffee!
