Geographic environment editing

Location domain

Kenya is 5.82646 billion square kilometers across the equator, bordered by Somalia to the east, Ethiopia and the Republic of South Sudan to the north, Uganda to the west and Tanzania to the south. The southeast is bordered by the Indian Ocean, with a coastline of 536 kilometers. [3]

Topography

The coastal areas are plains, and most of the rest are plateaus with an average elevation of 1500 meters. Great Rift Valley

Kenya's highest peak-Mount Kenya

Kenya's highest peak-Mount Kenya

The east branch cuts the plateau north and south, dividing the highland into east and west parts. The bottom of the Great Rift Valley is 450 miles below the plateau and 100 kilometers wide, with lakes of varying depths and many volcanoes standing. The north is desert and semi-desert, accounting for about 56% of the country's total area. Mount Kenya in the central highlands is 5199 meters above sea level, the highest peak, the second highest in Africa, and the summit is covered with snow all the year round. The extinct Wagagai volcano is 4321 meters above sea level.

Hydrology

There are many rivers and lakes, and the largest rivers are the Tana River and the Galana River. The west is bordered by Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa. [3]

Climate

Located in the tropical monsoon area, most areas belong to the savanna climate, the coastal areas are hot and humid, and the plateau climate is mild. The rainy season is from March to June and from October to December, and the rest is dry season. The annual rainfall decreases from 1500 mm to 200mm from southwest to northeast. Nairobi, the capital, has a mild climate, with an average annual temperature of 17.7C, and the annual rainfall of 1049 mm should not be underestimated by small farmers in Kenya, who are no less ant soldiers, with an overall production capacity higher than that of large farms, which is about 6: 4, which is quite rare in bean-producing countries. Kenyan coffee is widely appreciated by connoisseurs, thanks in large part to small farmers guarding the foothills in order to grow high-quality coffee. In addition, Kenya beans must have a strict grading system. Coffee beans taken out by washing plants are divided into seven grades according to size, shape and hardness, the highest is AA or AA+, followed by AB, PB, C, TT, T. This grading system is similar to Colombia, mainly in terms of particle size and shape, but it does not necessarily have the best flavor. This is what coffee fans should know.

Kenya Kenya Coffee Kenya Kenya is the origin of Arabica coffee trees in Kenya, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was engaged in coffee cultivation. In the 19th century, missionaries introduced Arabica trees from the leaves, but did not plant them in large quantities. It was not until 1893, when the ancient Brazilian bourbon seeds were introduced, that coffee was cultivated on a large scale. That is to say, the current Kenya Kenyan coffee is of Brazilian origin. Due to differences in water, climate and handling, the taste of Kenya Kenyan beans is very different from that of Brazilian beans. 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. This height is the most suitable for coffee beans to develop their flavor, because the mountain temperature is lower, 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. In addition, Kenya was an early British colony, and the British had established a set of perfect cultivation and quality control system. After Kenya became independent, the coffee industry made great strides on the existing basis, and became the industry that earned the most foreign exchange in Kenya.
