Introduction to the flavor and taste characteristics of fine coffee beans in Burman Manor Coffee Variety producing area in Kenya

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 Kenyan national emblem established by the Wagagai extinct volcano at 4321 meters above sea level in 1963 centers on a shuttle-shaped shield emblem consistent with the national flag, with a golden lion on each side, a spear and a shield emblem. 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 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 generally works well and is fair to both growers and consumers. 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-shaped berry coffee (PB), which is aromatic, full-bodied, fruity and has 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.
