Qianjie-Kenyan Coffee introduction

For most people, the taste of coffee is bitter, astringent, sweet and slightly sour. This coffee Youyou is going to introduce to you today is very individual. as a serious coffee, it has a strong flavor of natural berries and a hint of red wine.

It is the Kenyan coffee that sweeps all over Europe and can't stop Germans who are more than Virgo. It is famous in the coffee world for its rich aroma, fresh and multi-layered acidity, full silky mellow, and light red wine flavor, and is a favorite of many coffee glutton, but if you taste Kenyan coffee for the first time, its sour taste may make you a little uncomfortable.

Kenyan coffee has a wonderful fruit flavor, tastes like BlackBerry and grapefruit, a touch of acidity across the tongue, fresh flavor, the most suitable for the hot summer to have a cup of iced coffee, with a small piece of red grapefruit, a simple African afternoon tea is done!

The coffee producing areas in Kenya are mainly concentrated in the plateau areas represented by Mount Mt.Kenya (the average altitude is 1500mur2100m). The year-round climate with suitable temperature and acidic red volcanic soil as the growing land has made the best Kenyan coffee, including SL28 and SL34.

To ensure that only ripe berries are picked, local coffee farmers often make about seven rounds of inspection in the forest. Kenyan coffee is generally grown by small farmers, that is, small farmers, usually picking coffee by hand, either by themselves or by hired workers.

The picked fresh coffee fruit needs to be delivered to the cooperative cleaning station in time, where the washed and dried coffee is sent to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) ("parchment coffee beans" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling). In the end, all the coffee is collected together, and the growers charge the average price according to their actual quality.

The coffee industry occupies a very important position in Kenya, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. No other country in the world can grow, produce, and sell coffee as continuously as Kenya, where all coffee beans are first acquired by the CBK (CoffeeBoardofKenya), where they are identified, rated, and then sold at weekly auctions, which are no longer graded.

The Kenya Coffee Commission only acts as an agent to collect coffee samples and distribute them to buyers so that they can determine the price and quality. The best coffee grade is bean berry coffee (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB and so on. The fine coffee is shiny, delicious and slightly alcoholic.
