Kenya Kangunu AA TOP

I've heard before that this Kenyan flavor is quite good, unlike the traditional dark plum, or dark berry flavor, Kangunu has a very different performance. The Barn, a famous bakery in Berlin, also sells this bean. A few days ago, I talked to Brother Wu of Tainan Feng Coffee about this bean. He generously divided it into 500g and let me test it to see what different performances can be made under very shallow baking with different bean dryers and different methods.

Unlike Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Kangunu comes from Embu, a small district south of Nairobi, at an altitude of 1600-1700. According to the bean dealer's cup test description, it has cranberry, strawberry flavors, and bright citric acid. The Barn's ripe bean cup is apricot, blackberry, and juicy. Flavors may vary from batch to batch, but the berry-like flavor and Juicy taste will be the biggest selling points of this bean.

This time the baking quantity is 500g, take 100g sample first to estimate the defect ratio. Like most Kenyans, there are quite a few shell beans, and some are incomplete. 3.8 g of defective beans were picked out, the beans still looked yellowish green, and the moisture seemed to be well maintained.

The temperature of the beans is 185 degrees, the baking weight is 481.3 g, and the temperature return point is about 93.1 degrees in 1 minute and 12 seconds. Because I want to try a lighter baking degree, I just put the beans into the explosion, and the temperature of the beans is 198 degrees. Bake time 10 minutes 12 seconds. After baking, the weight is about 426.4 g.

After standing for 24 hours, take 15g and grind it, rinse it with 250g hot water of 93 ℃. Dry incense can feel the obvious aroma of dried cranberry fruit, accompanied by caramel incense, fresh like cranberry juice after the entrance, but also with a bit of fresh cream aroma, sugar-like sweet feeling, the end rhyme and with a little lime acid, in the light baked state can have such a refreshing sour performance is not easy, the last time in tainan feng coffee drink is in the sugar sweet feeling performance is more obvious, the richness of the aroma is quite good. This bean is a great value for money, and if you want to try Kenya in different microregions, this is a great choice.
