Qianjie-African Coffee producing area brief introduction of Kenya Coffee producing area

No country in the world attaches as much importance to the production of high-quality coffee as Kenya, so Kenya can be regarded as the best model student for coffee producers in the world, because all Kenyan coffee must be uniformly purchased and graded by the Kenyan Coffee Bureau (Coffee Board of Kenya, CBK) set up by the government every Tuesday. The official Nenobi Coffee Exchange (the Nairobi Coffee Exchange) is open in the capital because this open system of overall management by the government has encouraged more than 570000 small coffee farmers in all Kenya. As long as they have good quality, it is not difficult to get a good price.

As a matter of fact, the Kenyan government still has a lot of support for its efforts. The government provides a large number of small coffee farmers with the skills to grow coffee, tutoring nearly 300 agricultural transportation and marketing cooperatives (a bit like Taiwan's agricultural production and marketing classes) in better handling of raw beans, and the Kenyan Coffee Bureau (CBK) devotes itself to the production, quality research, sales, and even financial guidance of the coffee industry. Creating the unparalleled charm of the quality and flavor of Kenyan coffee, it is deeply loved by coffee buyers from all over the world, known as AB. The Kenyan authorities (CBK) are very demanding on coffee beans, using consistent packaging, coupled with good quality and good texture, so coffee lovers will never forget to enjoy a cup of Kenyan coffee.

Most of Kenya's coffee crops are grown in the fertile, loose, acidic volcanic red soil of the highlands north and east of Nairobi. There is plenty of light and good drainage, and the elevation is between 1400 and 2000 meters. Because the higher the altitude, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the ripening cycle of Kenyan coffee is longer than that of low altitude, so it has higher density and rich flavor. Kenyan coffee, known as the "Cup of connoisseurs" (Connoisseurs' Cup), is famous for its rich aroma, vibrant acidity, full mellowness and elegant red wine flavor.

There are many coffee-growing areas in Kenya, most of which are located on Mount Mt Kenya, 5199 meters north of the capital Nairobi, including Nyeri, Thika, Embu, Murang'an and Kiambu, while very few of them are grown on the slopes of Mount Mt Meru, another high mountain in the north of Kenya. The differences of planting soils in different producing areas give coffee beans their own subtle flavor:

Description of Nyeri flavor: orange, lemon, flower, Indian milk tea, musk grape, berry

Description of Thika flavor: Apple, caramel, berry

Enbu production area (Embu) flavor description: red grapefruit, orange, blackcurrant, unrestrained and bright acidity, solid taste, clean finish

Description of Murang'a flavor: tropical fruit, clove, citrus, peach, mango, apple

Kiambu flavor description: blueberry, grapefruit, honey, strawberry, longan, caramel, tea, vanilla, sweet pepper

Knowledge expansion: common Kenyan coffee is not strong in taste, with refreshing sour taste and unique fruit flavor, some with slightly spice, some with red wine aroma
