What are the flavor and taste characteristics of AB washed beans from Gondor treatment Plant in Mulana District, Kenya?

The Gondor processing plant (Gondo) in 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. 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. (when the editor drinks Gondor this bean, he feels sweet like black plum juice.)

In this championship batch, we set it to be baked in medium and shallow shape. the entrance is like drinking bright grapefruit juice, excluding the acidity of grapefruit, it is as sweet as honey, and the sweet and solid taste is overturned in the whole mouth. In the middle stack is blackcurrant, BlackBerry juice, sweet and sour taste, slightly lower temperature and then transformed into a throat incomparable black plum juice, powerful. The layers of taste and flavor challenge the sensory limits of you and me!

An annual conference and internal cup competition of the Mulana producers' Cooperative Union

A total of more than 40 member cooperatives in the alliance sent samples to participate in the evaluation.

In such a large cooperative alliance, the management is often limited by historical factors, and the old people are more conservative.

Accustomed to trusting traditional Kenyan middleman (Marketing Agent) or Kenyan coffee shop

(Kenya Coffee Board)'s bidding system sells the harvest of the year.

This competition is actually our boutique buyers and local export partners.

And the results of the efforts of the young innovators in the alliance.

This is not just a game, in the course of the day, except for grading

We also try to communicate with representatives of all cooperatives on how to measure the mechanism and experience of judging quality.

Each cooperative representative also got a simple evaluation form.

Experienced the process of coffee evaluation. For many cooperative representatives

This is the first time they drink the coffee they grow and produce!

The batch of Gondor attracted the editor's attention in the first round.

Deep and incomparable strength that is the end of the rhyme so that the editor in the cup test of several adjacent samples have been a lot of interference.
