Qianjie-Kenyan Coffee introduction

Kenya is one of the top producers of coffee beans in the world, and its coffee is known as "black gold". Compared with the two agricultural pillars of flowers and tea, coffee is also a fragrant national business card in Kenya. What makes this business card internationally reputable is the well-known literary masterpiece "out of Africa".

Kenyan coffee is mostly grown at an altitude of 1500 to 2100 meters and is harvested twice a year. To ensure that only ripe berries are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. There are two kinds of coffee farms in Kenya. One is a large farm that covers an area of more than 30 mu. Due to the low altitude, the coffee beans produced are of medium quality. Gourmet beans are generally produced in small farms, which are mostly located in the foothills or volcanic slopes that are most suitable for coffee beans at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level.

After they harvest the coffee, they first send the fresh coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station, 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). All the coffee is collected together, and the growers charge the average price according to their actual quality. This trading method generally works well and is fair to both growers and consumers.

The Kenyan government attaches great importance to the coffee industry. The government funded the construction of a washing treatment plant, and the coffee beans picked by small farmers were sent to cooperative farms for processing, and the whole process was supervised by the official Coffee Administration. The washing processing technology and high standard quality management of Kenyan coffee beans have always been a model for bean-producing countries. Because of this, the buyers of Kenyan coffee are world-class coffee merchants, and Germans and Nordic people are more aware of Kenyan signs.

People in the coffee industry all think that Kenyan coffee is one of its favorite products because Kenyan coffee contains every feeling that people want from a good cup of coffee. It has a wonderful fruit flavor, tastes like BlackBerry and grapefruit, and is a favorite of many coffee gluttons. This coffee has an excellent medium purity, crisp and refreshing taste. It has a fresh flavor and is most suitable for drinking iced coffee in summer. When tasting this coffee, if it is paired with fruit with acidity such as grapefruit, it will give you the best coffee experience. "not much like coffee, but a bit like fruit tea" is the common feeling of many people about this kind of shallow roasted Kenyan coffee.

In addition to having obvious and charming fruit acidity, Kenyan coffee is mostly from small coffee farmers, planted in a variety of different environments, encounter different climate and rainfall every year, and bring a variety of distinct and unique personalities. Take the AAPlus grade "KenyaAA+Samburu" as an example, the Samburu in 2001 has a strong aroma of black plum, the acidity is not high, and the taste is strong. The newly harvested Samburu in the winter of 2002 presents a completely different flavor, mulberry and green plum, with a little Nanyang spice (Spicy) flavor, after drinking, the aftertaste has the sweetness of green tea, the acidity is slightly higher than the year before, the taste is still strong. The common Kenyan taste is not strong, but it has a bright fruit-like flavor, some spicy and some red wine.
