The origin of Kenyan varieties:

At present, most of the varieties of Kenyan coffee are modified from bourbon, while French missionary coffee is the original bourbon before the improvement. French missionaries brought bourbon coffee to Kenya in 1892, avoiding the improvement of scientific methods in the planting process and retaining the original flavor of bourbon. The unique red volcanic soil of Chania Estate, coupled with suitable coffee growth temperature and rainfall, the excellent planting environment makes Chania Manor French missionaries unique flavor.

French missionaries brought bourbon coffee to Kenya in 1892, so these native varieties of coffee were called French Mission Varietal, which avoided the improvement of scientific methods in the planting process and retained the original flavor of bourbon.

The difference between water washing and solarization:

Kenya in East Africa is rich in water resources, so the beans used to be washed. In the early years, because the beans produced by washing were of high quality, they were widely welcomed by the international consumer market. However, in recent years, due to the development of boutique coffee, everyone is looking for different possibilities and flavor particularity. Sun Kenya, in addition to being thicker and sweeter than washed Kenya, contains the acidity of citrus and apricot juice.

Introduction to the sun treatment method:

Before sun treatment, it is very rare in Kenya, because in order to do high-quality sun treatment, we need to pay close attention to the quality of beans and control the change of fruit moisture content in the process of solarization. Extra manpower and procedures are needed to shave defective beans after the drying process, so the beans are more precious.

The flavor characteristics of Solar Kenya:

This high-quality coffee bean has a unique rich fruit flavor with a hint of apricot and pineapple aromas. And there will be no defective beans mixed in the meantime to cause mixed taste, the presentation of each flavor is very clear. Because of this, tasting the sun in Kenya can enjoy an unprecedented sense of clarity.
