Introduction to Ethiopia in the original coffee producing area of Kenya in the central mountain area of Nyeri

Kenya is bordered to the north by Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that coffee cultivation began. In the 19th century, missionaries introduced Arabica trees from Yemen, but did not plant them in large quantities until 1893. Brazil's ancient "bourbon" coffee seeds were introduced to cultivate coffee on a large scale. In other words, the current Kenyan coffee is of Brazilian origin, and the taste of Kenyan beans is very different from that of Brazilian beans due to differences in water, climate and handling. Brazilian coffee is planted at a low altitude, with soft texture and no obvious sour taste. In contrast, Kenyan coffee trees are mainly concentrated on the slopes near Mount Kenya, about 4 to 6500 feet above sea level, which is suitable for coffee beans to develop their flavor, because the mountain temperature is lower and the growth is slower, and the aromatic components of coffee beans are fully developed. the acidity of the fruit is more obvious and the texture is harder.
