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.

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 fascinating fruit acidity, because Kenyan coffee is mostly from small coffee farmers, growing in different environments and experiencing different climates and rainfall every year, there are two types of Kenyan coffee farms, 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 large farms 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 and processing technology and high quality control of Kenyan beans have always been the example of bean-producing countries who only know how to brew, but do not know how to taste coffee, so the original delicacy may become tasteless. Some people taste coffee with the taste of the tongue, while others enjoy the aromatic mellow in the mouth. in addition, it depends on the condition of the body and the atmosphere around the coffee. In a word, tasting coffee is a very delicate thing.

When you drink coffee in a coffee shop, you sometimes drink almost half-cold coffee. No matter how good the coffee beans are and how good the brewing skills are, you will lose your appetite for coffee. Drinking while it is hot is a necessary condition for tasting delicious coffee, even on a hot summer day. When the coffee is cold, the flavor will decrease, so when brewing the coffee, in order not to reduce the taste of the coffee, soak the coffee cup in boiling water in advance. The appropriate temperature for coffee is 83 degrees Celsius at the moment of brewing, 80 degrees Celsius when pouring into the cup, and 61-62 degrees into the mouth.
