"if I can only drink one kind of coffee in the future, then I choose to drink Kenyan coffee." -BrianJones, author of DearCoffee,ILoveYou, a well-known professional coffee website

Kenya does not have a long history of coffee. Arabica coffee varieties were introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, and then Bourbon varieties from Brazil were bred on their own. In the early British colonial period, a perfect cultivation management system was established for the Kenyan coffee industry. The lower temperatures in the high-altitude mountains of Kenya prolong the ripening period of coffee beans, which can fully accumulate the complex aroma of the fruit. Unrestrained acidity and heavy aromas of fruit, such as blackcurrant and grapefruit, constitute the rugged ripeness of Kenyan coffee.
