Qianjie-Kenyan Coffee introduction

Northern Kenya borders Ethiopia, but there are obvious differences in flavor, with obvious berry flavors and rich juice flavor, which is inseparable from Kenya's unique red soil. The soil is rich in phosphoric acid, as well as its own excellent varieties SL28 and SL34, as well as Kenya's unique double washing fermentation method, which can last up to 72 hours.

The Scott Agricultural Laboratory, founded by the colonial government in 1922, is now renamed as the Kenyan National Agricultural Laboratory for short NARL. The purpose of the Scott Laboratory is to provide farmers with technical advice and planting related training [to conduct extensive experiments on imported coffee varieties, study and select single tree species with ideal characteristics]. Other work includes yield experiments, grafting experiments, pruning, shade planting experiments and root mulching crops.

In 1944, the Kenyan government decided to transfer the coffee research laboratory to the larger coffee research institute with better experimental facilities, which has been in operation since 1949.

The source of SL28 varieties

According to the literature, in 1931, Scott laboratory officials spread the area to Tanganyika (now Tanzania) to conduct fieldwork. He noticed that a coffee tree variety in Moduli seemed to be resistant to drought, disease and pests, so he collected seeds and brought them back to Scott Lab. In 1935, the laboratory selected a single tree species from Tanganyika drought-resistant population and was constantly improved by breeding. Finally, the SL28 of the offspring of Moduli was introduced, and recent genetic studies have confirmed that SL28 belongs to the bourbon gene group.

The Kenyan SL28 variety is one of the most famous and popular varieties in Africa. In recent years, it is famous for its amazing blackcurrant and bright acidity, and it is the most popular representative variety after the rose summer seed. In fact, SL28 was not first born in Kenya-just as Rosa originated in Ethiopia, but it became a superstar in Panama. SL28 also has this ability. Kenya, which is about to be planted by itself, shines to the major coffee countries.

Kenya SL28, a bourbon line screened and cultivated by French and British missionaries and researchers in Kenya at the beginning of the 20th century, has a mixed pedigree of French missionaries, Mocha and Yemeni iron pickup. High sweetness exquisite balance remarkable citrus and black plum flavor strong acidity full-bodied taste and beautiful balance are the unique flavor characteristics of Kenyan SL28 coffee.
