Introduction to the characteristic manor of Kenyan coffee boutique flavor and taste area

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.

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 trading method generally works well, fair to growers and consumers, fragrant, full-bodied, with fruit flavor, 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 look forward to and surprise. There are two types of coffee farms in Kenya. One is a large planting farm covering an area of more than five acres, but the average elevation is low. As far as Kenyan coffee is concerned, the coffee beans of the big farm are of medium quality. The best Kenyan beans come from small farms, most of which are located in the foothills or volcanic slopes above 5,000 to 6,000 feet. Each small farmer has a capacity of only 20 to 70 bags per season and cannot afford to invest in expensive washing plants, but small farmers are very United. Hundreds or thousands of households are gathered to set up a cooperative farm, which is funded by the government to build a washing treatment plant, and the coffee fruits picked by small farmers are sent to the cooperative farm for unified processing. First remove the half-ripe or rotten fruit, then peel, ferment, decompose the flesh, remove the coffee beans, then dry and polish, the whole process is supervised by the official Coffee Administration, which ensures the quality of Kenyan coffee. The washing technology and high standard quality control of Kenyan beans have always been an example of bean producing countries.
