Kenya Murang'a Gondo AA

Kenyan coffee has always been synonymous with high-quality coffee, but since most of them are produced by small batches and small farmers, whenever a good item is found, it will be sold out this year and may not appear on the market the next year. Fortunately, most Kenyan processing plants are highly skilled, otherwise they will fall into the cycle of stepping on mines every year.

Gondor is imported by raw bean merchant P, who first introduced a batch of competition champions in the first half of the year. Sure enough, I also bought 500g bulk raw beans to test. This coffee didn't let me down. I gave it a very high opinion, especially the sour-sweet performance, which is so beautiful that I am looking forward to the mass production batch in the second half of the year. About flavor, raw bean merchants and coffee review talk about very scary, in short, the fruit flavor is rich, sweetness is as high as dessert, but also with rich herbs and cocoa tail. When I got a kilogram of raw beans yesterday, I couldn't wait to bake them.

Every year, the Mulana producers' Cooperative Union has an internal cup evaluation competition, and a total of more than 40 member cooperatives in the alliance will send samples to participate in the evaluation, not only in the way of the buyer's referee, but also among the cooperatives. the winner enters the quarterfinals and goes through so many rounds of tests before he can win the championship. The most difficult part, Gondor processing field, he has a strong explosive power, even when we taste these top eight cups, we can immediately recognize that he is different, super amazing!

Not good enough?! This champion batch of Kenyan Gondor, even the very picky well-known American bean manufacturer Sweet Maria's sold their pearl round beans in 2014; it was so powerful that cup testers could not resist. Then why on earth is this bean so powerful? This should start from its variety, as well as the production environment and treatment plant! Presumably everyone is a stranger to Kenyan coffee, so let Xiao Ka reveal the charming secrets of Kenya one by one.

The Gondor processing Plant (Gondo) from Murang'a, which used to be part of the New Kirit Cooperative, is now under the larger Mulana producers' Cooperative Union (Murang'a Farmers Co-op Union Ltd.), which has more than 40 affiliated sub-cooperatives / processing plants. The Mulana producers' Cooperative Union holds an internal cup competition every year, and more than 40 member cooperatives in the union send samples to participate in the evaluation (as mentioned at the beginning, Gondor won the championship in one fell swoop).

This batch is selected by our coffee partners directly into the producing areas, purchased at a price higher than the average price for farmers, and introduced to you with the advantage of direct trade. A classic Kenyan SL28, SL28 has a mixed pedigree of French missionaries, mochas and Yemens Tibica. Although the yield of SL28 is not as expected when it was cultivated, the copper leaf color and broad bean-shaped beans have great sweetness, balance and complex flavor, as well as remarkable citrus and black plum characteristics. (when the editor drinks Gondor this bean, he feels sweet like black plum juice.)
