And designed. It is rectangular, with a ratio of length to width of 3:2. From top to bottom, it is made up of three parallel horizontal rectangles of black, red and green, with a white edge above and below the red rectangle.

Black symbolizes the Kenyan people, red symbolizes the struggle for freedom, green symbolizes agriculture and natural resources, white symbolizes unity and peace; spear and shield patterns symbolize the unity of the motherland and the struggle for freedom, Kenya, which is located on the equatorial line, has one.

There is a famous equatorial snow mountain, Mount Kenya, on which grows a famous orchid, which is the national flower of modern Kenya-Kenyan orchid. The leaves of Kenshan orchid are wide and thick, like bands carved by the king of blue. The petite white flower consists of six oval petals. There is a charming little red dot in the center of the flower.

It entered Kenya in the 19th century, when Ethiopian coffee drinks were imported into Kenya through southern Yemen. But it was not until the early 20th century that the bourbon was introduced by the St. Austen Mission (St.AustinMission).

Kenyan coffee is mostly grown at an altitude of 1500m, 2100m, and is harvested twice a year. To ensure that only ripe berries are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. Kenyan coffee is grown by small farmers. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the fresh coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station. The washing station sends the dried coffee to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) to the cooperative ("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 method of buying and selling is generally working well and is fair to both growers and consumers. internationally, the increase in the number of Kenyan coffee is obvious, with exports of 800000 bags in 1969-1970 and 2 million bags in 1985-1986. The general yield is stable at 1.6 million bags, with an average yield of about 650kg per hectare. Even before coffee prices skyrocketed, the average price of coffee in Kenya had been rising. Prices in 1993-1994 were 50% higher than they were 12 months ago. The rise in prices is mainly the result of increased demand.

Some buyers, especially Japanese businessmen, have expressed dissatisfaction with the Kenyan coffee industry system. Some businessmen say that the quality of coffee in the country has declined, and point out that buying directly from farmers may be a way to improve the quality. But in any case, Kenya's detailed rules and regulations and sound procedures are a model for all coffee-producing countries. 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 the leaves, but did not plant them in large quantities. It was not until 1893 that coffee was cultivated on a large scale due to the introduction of Brazil's ancient bourbon seeds. In other words, Kenyan coffee was of Brazilian origin, due to changes in water, climate and handling methods. The flavor 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, coffee trees in Kenya are mainly concentrated on the slopes near Mount Kenya.
