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. Wagagai extinct volcano 4321 meters above sea level Kenya mineral deposits are mainly soda ash, salt, fluorite, limestone, barite, gold, silver, copper, aluminum, zinc, niobium and thorium, except soda ash and fluorite, most mineral deposits have not yet been developed. The main minerals are barite near Tamota in the southeast, niobium in the Mlima Mountains and gold from Kakamaga and Makajie in the southwest. Kyrgyzstan is one of the largest diatomite mines in the world. Lake Magadi is rich in natural alkali and salt. The Kenyan national emblem developed in 1963 centers on a shuttle-shaped shield emblem consistent with the national flag, with a golden lion on each side, a spear on one leg and a shield emblem on the other. The white rooster with an axe in the back is the emblem of the African National Union of Kenya. According to the local tradition, the rooster symbolizes the new life. The two lions embody national sovereignty and national dignity, as well as the ties between Kenya and Britain. Under the feet of the two lions is the Kenyan volcano, the second largest mountain in Africa. It treads on fertile land, covered with coffee, oranges, sisal tea, corn and pineapple, and is full of fruit and fragrance. This is a microcosm of the peaceful life of the Kenyan people and the prosperity of the country. The brown ribbon under the national emblem is marked with the word "coexistence" in Swahili, expressing the desire of the Kenyan people for peace, fraternity, freedom and equality.

Kenyan coffee beans the Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very 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. Auctions are also organized to meet the needs of dispatchers. This kind of auction usually has a small auction volume (3-6 tons each), with samples with the grower's logo for buyers to enjoy. After the auction, the exporters pack according to different flavors, different qualities and the quantity required by the blenders. This provides a great deal of flexibility for the dispatcher. Quality-oriented Germans and Scandinavians are long-term buyers of Kenyan coffee. High-quality Kenyan coffee is aromatic, rich and fruity with a rich and perfect taste. Kenyan coffee 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 sour fruits such as grapefruit, it will certainly give me 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. This is how Kenya makes coffee fans full of expectations and surprises.
