Qianjie-Kenyan coffee brewing and sharing

A bourbon line screened and cultivated by French and British missionaries and researchers in Kenya at the beginning of the 20th century. Over the past hundred years, it has adapted to the high concentration of phosphate soil in Kenya, giving birth to the special sour and fragrant spirit of Kenyan beans, which is different from bourbon beans in Central and South America. This Kenyan native species was created by Scott Laboratories in 1930, known as SL for short. Agronomists wanted to find a kind of bourbon with high yield and resistance to diseases and insect pests, and obtained SL28 through experiments.

SL28 is a genetic variant with a mixed pedigree of French missionaries, mochas and Yementibica. The original goal of breeding SL28 was to mass-produce coffee beans with high quality and resistance to diseases and insect pests. Although the yield of SL28 was not as high as expected the copper leaf color and broad bean-shaped beans have great sweetness balance and complex flavor as well as significant citrus and black plum characteristics. This important variety leads us to the unique style of Kenyan coffee: strong acidity, rich taste and beautiful balance. Kenya AA is one of them. Most of the coffee growing environment in Kenya is above 1500 meters above sea level, using the most reasonable way to cultivate, process and pay attention to quality management. Therefore, the aroma and sour taste are better, and the sense of balance is better. It has become one of the main coffees representing the African region.

SL28 is a delicious variety, suitable for growing in the middle and high altitude areas where leaf rust is not serious. It can produce 1.8 tons of raw beans per hectare and drink the charming sour plum flavor to reflect the national treasure of Kenya.

Kenyan coffee is a dynamic element of the premium Arabica raw bean market. The highest grade Kenyan coffee is sold through competitive bidding and is generally more expensive. Of course, there will not be much difference in quality between high-grade Kenyan coffee exports and competitive coffee. The Kenyan government has actively developed the coffee industry, maintaining a high level of coffee tree protection, quality management and coffee research activities. The unique aroma and balanced taste of its coffee make it more and more valuable as a boutique coffee.

Many friends and Qianjie said that Kenyan coffee is very sour. Indeed, Kenyan coffee is characterized by bright acidity, as well as the flavor of berries, black plums and virgins. If it is not properly cooked, it is easy to tend to sharp acid rather than Kenya's original soft acid, one of the reasons may be that the water temperature is too low.
