Kenyan coffee

Kenyan coffee

Aromatic, full-bodied, with fruit flavor, taste rich and perfect. 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 charming fruit acidity, Kenyan coffee is mostly from small coffee farmers, planted in a variety of different environments, encounter different climate and rainfall every year, and bring a variety of distinct and unique personalities. Take the AAPlus grade "KenyaAA+Samburu" as an example, the Samburu in 2001 has a strong aroma of black plum, the acidity is not high, and the taste is strong. The newly harvested Samburu in the winter of 2002 presents a completely different flavor, mulberry and green plum, with a little Nanyang spice (Spicy) flavor, after drinking, the aftertaste has the sweetness of green tea, the acidity is slightly higher than the year before, the taste is still strong. The common Kenyan taste is not strong, but it has a bright fruit-like flavor, some spicy and some red wine. This is how Kenya makes coffee fans full of expectations and surprises.

Kenya has friendly relations with Uganda. With close economic and trade ties, Ukraine is the largest commodity exporter in Kenya and is willing to be the largest foreign investor in Ukraine. In December 2004, the two countries signed an agreement on direct railway transport. In April 2006, President Kibaki went to Ukraine to attend the inauguration ceremony of President Museveni. In July, President Museveni visited Kenya. In January 2008, President Museveni, who holds the rotating presidency of the East African Community, went to Kenya to mediate the dispute over the Kenyan election. There is a dispute between Ken and Ukraine over the ownership of Mijingo Island, and Ken reiterated that he firmly upholds the country's territorial integrity but insists on resolving the issue peacefully by diplomatic means. In April 2009, President Kibaki and President Museveni met at the East African Community Summit, where they agreed to resolve the dispute through a joint demarcation commission, and the two sides formally launched a joint demarcation in May.

Kenya is actively promoting the peace process in Somalia. In October 2002, Ken hosted a new round of Somali peace conference in the western Kenyan town of Eldoret under the authority of the East African Intergovernmental Organization for Development (IGAD). In January 2004, the Soges signed an agreement in Kenya on the amendment to the charter and the establishment of a new National Assembly. After August, Soho has successively elected the Transitional Federal Parliament, the Government and the President. Since June 2005, the transitional government of Somalia has relocated from Nairobi to the territory of Somalia. In September 2006, while attending the special summit in Nairobi in IGAD, President Kibaki met with President Yusuf of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia and Prime Minister Meles of Ethiopia to discuss issues such as the deployment of the IGAD peace support mission in the country. In August 2007, President Kibaki met with visiting President Yusuf. In June 2009, Prime Minister Odinga met with Prime Minister Shemak of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. In October 2011, Ken sent troops to Somalia to assist the Transitional Federal Government in the elimination of the rebel "Shabab", and the troops in Somalia will be integrated into the African Union Mission in Somalia in June 2012. Since August 2012, Suo has elected a new leader and a new government, and is willing to give it strong support. Ken advocates the peaceful settlement of the internal conflict in Sudan and has presided over the peace talks in Sudan for more than 10 times. In May 2001, Ken presided over the Sudan peace talks in Kenya as chairman of the IGAD Committee on Sudan. In January 2005, the Government of the Sudan and southern rebels signed a comprehensive peace agreement in Nairobi, Kenya. In July, President Kibaki attended the signing of the Transitional Constitution of the Sudan and the establishment of the new Government of the Sudan. In July 2006, Mayardit, first vice president of the Soviet Union and chairman of the southern government, visited Kenya. In May 2007 and May 2009, Kiir, first Vice President of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Southern Government, visited Kenya. Ken mediated the northern and southern sides of Jiangsu many times to support the result of the referendum on independence in southern Sudan.

The common Kenyan taste is not strong, but it has a bright fruit-like flavor, some spicy and some red wine. This is how Kenya makes coffee fans look forward to and surprise. There are two types of coffee farms in Kenya. 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 big farm 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 technology and high quality control of Kenyan beans have always been an example of small farmers in Kenya, who are no less than ant soldiers, with an overall production capacity higher than that of large farms, which is about six to four, which is very rare in bean-producing countries. Kenyan coffee is widely appreciated by connoisseurs, thanks in large part to small farmers guarding the foothills and producing high-quality coffee. In addition, Kenya beans must have a strict grading system. Coffee beans taken out by washing plants are divided into five grades according to size, shape and hardness, with the highest being PB, followed by AA++, AA+, AA and AB. This grading system is similar to Colombia, mainly in terms of particle size and shape, but selling well does not necessarily lead to good flavor. This is what coffee fans should know. The current international evaluation of Kenyan beans is not as good as in previous years. It is believed that this has something to do with the abnormal climate, which is not conducive to the growth of coffee, but the matter is not so simple. This is related to the Kenyan authorities' efforts to promote the new variety Ruiru11 with stronger disease resistance and higher yield per unit. According to the taste test, the new variety with higher economic value has a worse flavor than the traditional variety, and to make matters worse, Ruiru11 is about to replace the traditional Arabica and Bourbon varieties. In addition, the quality of coffee is declining, the auction price is not good, and the income of small farmers is reduced. Coupled with the fact that the coffee management bureau is not a paradox, farmers' enthusiasm for coffee will be greatly reduced, which will of course affect the quality of coffee. In addition, Kenya's outstanding washing technology has also declined, which is the killer of strangling quality.

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 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 berry coffee (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB and so on. The fine coffee is shiny, delicious and slightly alcoholic. Auctions are also organized to meet the needs of dispatchers. This kind of auction usually has a small auction volume (3-6 tons each), with samples with the grower's logo for buyers to enjoy. After the auction, the exporters pack according to different flavors, different qualities and the quantity required by the blenders. This provides a great deal of flexibility for the dispatcher. Quality-conscious Germans and Scandinavians are long-term buyers of Kenyan coffee.

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 is mainly the result of increased demand.

Some buyers, especially Japanese businessmen, have expressed dissatisfaction with the Kenyan coffee industry system. Some businessmen say that the quality of coffee in the country has declined, and point out that buying directly from farmers may be a way to improve the quality. But in any case, Kenya's detailed rules and regulations and sound procedures are a model for all coffee-producing countries.
