Introduction to Qianjie-African Coffee countries-Kenya Coffee

The birthplace of all coffee. Due to the geographical location and environment of the African continent, the coffee beans here are very friendly to the sun treatment, and of course there is also water washing treatment.

Ethiopian coffee has a strong orange flavor, while Kenyan coffee has strong raspberry aromas, sour aromas of black plum juice and grapefruit, and sweet sugar cane. The orange aroma of Ethiopian coffee and the raspberry flavor of Kenyan coffee are the most distinctive features of African beans, and they are also the most fascinating to coffee fans, including elegant and flavored Uganda, clear and enthusiastic Rwanda and other producing areas, all with the enthusiasm and vitality of the African continent.

Kenya's upland washed Arabica beans are one of the best coffee in the world in terms of quality. The coffee industry in Kenya is of good quality and consistent under the strict control of the Kenya Coffee Agency. Kenyan coffee is famous for its strong fruit flavor, with lemon and citrus acid aromas.

Kenya is bordered to the north by Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that coffee cultivation began. In the 19th century, missionaries introduced Arabica trees from Yemen, but did not plant them in large quantities. It was not until 1893 that coffee was cultivated on a large scale after the introduction of Brazil's ancient bourbon seeds. That is to say, Kenyan coffee is of Brazilian origin. Due to the differences in water, climate and handling, the taste of Kenyan beans is very different from that of Brazilian beans.

Today, the editor of Qianjie mainly talked about Kenyan coffee.

Most of Kenya's coffee crops grow in acid volcanic red soil, with plenty of light, good drainage, between 1600 and 2100 meters above sea level, and a large temperature difference between day and night, so they have a strong flavor. It is precisely with such a unique growth environment that Kenyan coffee enjoys a high reputation in the coffee industry, with the title of "Connoisseurs' Cup of connoisseurs". It is famous for its rich aroma, bright and dynamic acidity, full mellowness, elegant red wine flavor and so on.

Kenyan coffee beans are basically treated by water washing. generally speaking, the coffee after this treatment has the purest flavor, the lowest miscellaneous flavor, and the best fruity and sour taste. What is more commendable is that Kenya has a more special treatment: the "double washing method". As Kenyan coffee is a flavor coffee, it is generally roasted in medium to highlight its flower and fruit aroma and acidity, and the deep roasting is less.

Knowledge Gift: Kenya is located in East Africa, right on the equator, with the Indian Ocean to the east, Ethiopia to the north and Tanzania to the south. Kenya is a big coffee country in East Africa and one of the most important and irreplaceable producers.
