Kenya is one of the birthplaces of mankind, where fossilized human skulls from about 2.5 million years ago have been unearthed.

In the 7th century AD, some commercial cities were formed along the southeast coast, and Arabs began to do business and settle here. Zheng he, a Chinese navigator, has been to Malindi and Mombasa in Kenya.

In 1498, the Portuguese Vasco Daga went to Kenya.

In the 16th century, Portuguese colonists occupied the coastal areas. In 1557, Portugal built a fortress in Mombasa, East Africa.

In 1890, Britain and Germany carved up East Africa and was willing to be assigned to Britain. The British government declared it a "East African protectorate" in 1895 and became a colony in 1920.

In February 1962, the Constituent Assembly in London decided to form a coalition government by the Kenyan African National Union (Kenyan League) and the Kenyan African Democratic Union.

Topography

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

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. Wagagai extinct volcano 4321 meters above sea level

People in the coffee industry all think that Kenyan coffee is one of its favorite products because Kenyan coffee contains every feeling we want from a good cup of coffee. It has wonderful and satisfying aromas, well-balanced acidity, well-proportioned particles and excellent fruit flavors. The taste is so unique that there is almost no similar coffee. Kenyan coffee is characterized by a distinctive fruity aroma. Try to find this flavor in the coffee and pay attention to how it feels in the mouth. One of the common fruit aromas is citrus. Kenyan coffee has multi-layered tastes and juice acidity, perfect grapefruit and wine flavors, and moderate mellowness. The Kenyan government takes the coffee industry extremely seriously, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. Kenyan coffee buyers are world-class high-quality coffee buyers, and no other country can grow, produce and sell coffee on a continuous basis like Kenya. All coffee beans are first acquired by the Kenya Coffee Commission (CoffeeBoardofKenya, CBK), where they are identified, graded, and then sold at weekly auctions, where they 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 auction in Nairobi is for private exporters, and the Kenya Coffee Commission pays growers a price below the market price. 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. The auction was also organized to meet the needs of dispensers in Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees in the north of Kenya, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that coffee cultivation began. Missionaries introduced Arabica trees from the leaf gate in the 19th century, but did not plant them in large quantities. Coffee was not cultivated on a large scale until 1893 when Brazil's ancient bourbon seeds were introduced, that is to say, Kenyan coffee was of Brazilian origin. Due to the differences in water, climate and handling, the taste of 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, 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. In addition, Kenya was an early British colony, and the British had established a set of perfect cultivation and quality control system. After the independence of Kenya, the coffee industry built on the existing foundation.
