Introduction to the characteristics of Coffee Flavor description and Grinding scale in Berman Manor, Kenya

Don't underestimate the small farmers in Kenya, they are just like ants and soldiers, and their overall production capacity is higher than that of large farms, about six to four, which is quite rare in bean-producing countries. Kenyan coffee is widely appreciated by connoisseurs, thanks in large part to small farmers guarding the foothills in order to grow high-quality coffee. In addition, Kenya beans must have a strict grading system. Coffee beans taken out by washing plants are divided into seven grades according to size, shape and hardness, the highest is AA or AA+, followed by AB, PB, C, E, TT, T. This grading system is similar to Colombia, mainly in terms of particle size and shape, but it does not necessarily have the best flavor. This is what coffee fans should know.

On an international scale, the increase in the number of Kenyan coffee is obvious, with exports of 800000 bags in 1969-1970 and increased to 2 million bags in 1985-1986. The general yield is stable at 1.6 million bags, with an average yield of about 650kg per hectare. Even before coffee prices skyrocketed, the average price of coffee in Kenya had been rising. Prices in 1993-1994 were 50% higher than they were 12 months ago. The rise in prices was mainly due to the increase in demand. Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees in the north of Kenya, began to cultivate coffee as late as the beginning of the 20th century. Missionaries introduced Arabica trees from Yemen in the 19th century, but did not plant them in large quantities. Coffee was not cultivated on a large scale until 1893 when Brazil's ancient bourbon seeds were introduced, that is to say, Kenyan coffee was of Brazilian origin. Due to the differences in water, climate and handling, the taste 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.
