Kenya is one of the birthplaces of mankind, and fossilized human skulls from about 2.5 million years ago have even been unearthed in Kenya. From 1890 to 1963, it was under British colonial rule for about 70 years.

When it comes to Kenyan coffee varieties, we can't do without SL28\ SL34 and French missionary bourbon.

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, French and British missionaries and researchers screened and cultivated coffee trees in Kenya, and successfully bred the direct descendants of the bourbon species "SL28" and "SL34". For a century, Kenyan coffee has adapted to Kenya's high concentration of phosphate soil, and has given birth to the special sour essence of Kenyan coffee beans, which is different from bourbon beans in other Central and South American countries.

Unlike most of the improved SL28 and SL34 cultivated in Kenya, the French missionary (French Mission) is a native bourbon coffee variety before scientific improvement. In the late 19th century, the French diplomatic corps was introduced to Kenya from the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion), which retains the flavor of the traditional bourbon variety, which is similar in appearance and flavor to Rwanda bourbon, which is cultivated almost all over the neighborhood.

As we all know, Kenya is a big source of water-washed beans, and solarization is a new attempt in Kenya. The acid value of traditional lemon fruit is suppressed by the aroma of fermented wine, and then it shows that the chocolate is still mellow and silky.

Tanning is a more traditional treatment, although it is not common in Kenya. But this traditional treatment is rare when it comes to the missionary bourbon, an ancient variety of coffee in Kenya.
