Introduction to the producing areas of coffee bean flavor knowledge in Kenya

Kenyan coffee is mostly grown at an altitude of 1500 mi 2100 meters and is harvested twice a year. Kenyan industrious people love coffee as much as lovers in love.

Accounting for 55% of Kenya's total coffee production (40% of the number of estates) is run by numerous small operators. Seeing that coffee is absolutely profitable, these small operators continue to increase the need for agronomy and the development of high-quality coffee tree species, thus greatly promoting the development of coffee in Kenya.

To ensure that only ripe coffee fruits are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station, where the sun-dried coffee is sent to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) ("parchment coffee" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling).

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 purchased by the Kenya Coffee Commission, where they are identified, graded, and then sold at weekly auctions, where they are no longer graded. 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. Kenyan Coffee has become more famous with the sensation of the Hollywood movie "out of Africa". Karen, the heroine played by Meryl Streep, is a writer and coffee planter. Many people probably remember Karen's yellow-and-white linen dress, the beautiful scenery and the magnificent sunset, and what is even more unforgettable is Karen's dream of having a coffee plantation in Africa.

Kenya grows high-quality Arabica coffee beans, which absorb almost the essence of coffee cherries, with a slightly sour, thick aroma, and are very popular among Europeans. Especially in Britain, Kenya Coffee has surpassed Costa Rican coffee and become one of the most popular coffees.

Kenyan coffee

Kenya is bordered to the north by Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that coffee cultivation began. In the 19th century, missionaries introduced Arabica trees from the leaves, but did not plant them in large quantities. It was not until 1893 that coffee was cultivated on a large scale due to the introduction of Brazil's ancient bourbon seeds. In other words, Kenyan coffee was of Brazilian origin, due to changes in water, climate and handling methods. The flavor of Kenyan beans is very different from that of Brazilian beans. Brazilian coffee is planted at a low altitude, with soft texture and no obvious sour taste. In contrast, Kenyan coffee trees are mainly concentrated on the slopes near Mount Kenya, about 4 to 6500 feet above sea level, which is suitable for coffee beans to develop their flavor, because the mountain temperature is lower and the growth is slower, and the aromatic components of coffee beans are fully developed. the acidity of the fruit is more obvious and the texture is harder. In addition, Kenya was an early British colony, and the British had established a set of perfect cultivation and quality control system. After the independence of Kenya, the coffee industry built on the existing foundation.
