Description of coffee flavor in Berman Manor, Kenya. Introduction to the characteristics of grinding degree and taste of varieties.

Kenya coffee is mostly grown at altitudes of 1500- 2100 meters and harvested twice a year. To make sure only ripe berries are picked, people have to make about seven rounds through the woods. Kenyan coffee is grown by smallholders who harvest the coffee and send it fresh to a cooperative washing station, which sends the washed and dried coffee to the cooperative in the state of "parchment beans"(i.e. beans covered with an endocarp)("parchment beans" are the final state of the beans before peeling). All the coffee is collected together and the grower charges an average price based on its actual quality. This method of buying and selling generally worked well and was fair to both growers and consumers. Ethiopia, the country of origin of Kenya's northern neighbor Arabica coffee trees, did not begin coffee cultivation until the early twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, missionaries introduced Arabica trees from Yemen, but did not plant them in large quantities. Coffee was not cultivated on a large scale until 1893, when the ancient Brazilian bourbon coffee seeds were introduced. That is, Kenyan coffee has Brazilian ancestry. The climate and processing methods are different, and the flavor of Kenyan beans is very different from Brazilian beans. Brazilian coffee is grown at low altitudes, with soft texture and no obvious fruit acid flavor. Kenyan coffee trees, on the other hand, are concentrated on the slopes near Mount Kenya, between 4,000 feet and 6,500 feet above sea level, which is suitable for coffee bean flavor development, because the mountain temperature is lower, the growth is slower, the aromatic components of coffee beans are fully developed, the fruit acid flavor is more obvious, and the texture is harder. In addition, Kenya was a British colony in the early days, and the British have established a complete system of cultivation and quality control. After Kenya's independence, the coffee industry on the existing basis of good brewing skills, but do not know how to taste coffee, then the original taste may become tasteless at all. Some taste coffee is to use the tongue to feel the taste, and some enjoy the kind of aromatic alcohol in the mouth, in addition to this, but also depends on the body when drinking coffee, the surrounding atmosphere and so on. In short, coffee tasting is a very delicate matter.

When drinking coffee in a poor coffee shop, sometimes you will drink nearly half cold coffee. No matter how good the quality of coffee beans is, and how good the brewing skills are, you will lose your appetite for coffee. "Drink hot" is a necessary condition for tasting delicious coffee, even if it is hot coffee in the summer. When coffee is cold, the flavor will be reduced, so when brewing coffee, in order not to reduce the taste of coffee, the coffee cup should be soaked in boiling water in advance. The appropriate temperature of coffee is 83 degrees Celsius at the moment of brewing, 80 degrees Celsius when poured into the cup, and 61-62 degrees Celsius when it reaches the mouth.
