Kenya, located in East Africa, is one of the important producers of fine coffee in the world, but the overall output is small, accounting for less than 0.5% of the global production. There are two seasons in Kenya, the main one is from October to December, and the other is from April to June. Kenya has complex terrain, including plateaus, deserts, valleys and grasslands, and the main coffee producing areas are spread around Mount Kenya (MT). KENYA, volcano) and Elgang Mountain (MT. Elgon), between 1000 and 2500 meters above sea level, such as Mount Kenya in the middle, there are Aberdare Zone, Nyeri, EMBU and MERU, which are all very important producing areas in Kenya.

The main variety of production in Kenya is Arabica, but different from Arabica in other countries, the main ones are SL28, SL34, K7, Ruiru 11 (Ruiru), Batian and so on. SL28, SL34 and other Kenyan coffee brands are classic varieties, these varieties themselves have a strong and unique sour aroma, many people are deeply fascinated by the Kenyan flavor! However, a difficult problem faced by international high-quality raw bean buyers in recent years is that the classic Kenyan flavor is becoming more and more difficult to find, mainly because of land development, the planting area of coffee farmland in Kenya is shrinking, and the output is therefore decreasing. In addition, the local implementation of high-yield new varieties of Kenyan coffee, such as Ruiru or Batian, makes the classic SL28, SL34 flavor also gradually decline, even many well-known processing plants can not escape this trend.

The Kenya to be recommended this time is the Gondor processing Plant (Gondo) from Murang'a, which used to be part of the New Kirit Cooperative, but now belongs to the larger Mulana producers' Cooperative Union (Murang'a Farmers Co-op Union Ltd.), which has more than 40 affiliated 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. It is a classic Kenyan SL28 breed. SL28 has a mixed pedigree of French missionaries, mochas and Yemeni Tibica. Although the yield of SL28 is not as expected when it was cultivated, copper leaves and broad bean-shaped beans have a great sense of sweetness, balance and complex flavor, as well as significant citrus and black plum characteristics.
