SL-28 and SL-34 help Kenyan coffee to form its own unique flavor characteristics and establish a perfect reputation in the coffee industry. Although the yield of SL28 was not as high as expected the copper leaf color and broad bean-shaped beans have great sweetness balance and complex flavor as well as significant citrus and black plum characteristics. SL34 is similar to SL28 in flavor, with a heavier, fuller and cleaner finish than SL28, except for the complex acidity and great sweetness of the finish. SL34 has French missionaries, bourbon, and more Tibica ancestry. Dou looks similar to SL28, but is more adaptable to sudden heavy rain. It is these two important varieties that lead us to understand the unique Kenyan style: strong acidity, rich taste and beautiful balance.

If you only know how to brew, but not how to taste coffee, 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 of coffee is 83 degrees Celsius at the moment of brewing, 80 degrees Celsius when pouring into the cup, and 61-62 degrees in the mouth. The most ideal delicious coffee should not only pay attention to the appropriate temperature, but also have appropriate portions. Drinking coffee is not like drinking or juice, a full cup of coffee, watching it will lose interest in drinking. Generally speaking, it is only seven or eight minutes full for the right amount, moderate amount of coffee will not only stimulate the taste, after drinking it will not have a "greasy" feeling, but endless aftertaste. At the same time, the right amount of coffee can moderately promote the body to recover from fatigue and refresh the mind.

There are different flavors of coffee, so you can't drink three or four cups in a row like tea or cola, but the size of a formal coffee cup is just right. The average amount of coffee to drink is 80-100cc. Sometimes if you want to drink three or four cups in a row, you have to dilute the concentration of coffee or add a lot of milk, but you still have to take into account the degree of physical demand to add or decrease the concentration of coffee, that is, do not cause a feeling of greasy or nausea, and there may be more changes in the mix of sugar to make the coffee more delicious.

We still choose the familiar medium and shallow baking, but in order to retain the very rich fruit flavor in the raw beans, we increase the temperature of the beans to 210 ℃ and keep the temperature at 125 ℃. After entering the pot, we observe the return point and steam over low heat, and observe until the coffee beans whiten evenly at 4 minutes and 30 seconds, then press the fire to complete the dehydration in about 5 minutes and 30 seconds, and then turn down the firepower at 175 ℃ in 8 minutes. Make coffee beans undergo incomplete dehydration condensation, produce chlorogenic acid lactone, add a sense of balance, the whole baking time is 10 minutes and 30 seconds, the acidity is very soft and delicate Kenyan coffee beans the Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very seriously, here, 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. Now the yield is stable at 1.6 million bags, with an average yield of about 650kg per hectare. Even before coffee prices skyrocketed in recent years, 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 to learn from.

Last year, as global supply increased and international coffee prices continued to fall, Kenyan coffee prices fell to their lowest level since 2007, seriously affecting the livelihoods of millions of coffee farmers. Coffee prices have rebounded since the beginning of this year due to an expected decline in coffee production due to dry weather in Brazil.

Kenya AA coffee beans are adjacent to Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee trees in the north of Kenya, but it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that they began to engage in coffee cultivation. 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 after the introduction of Brazil's ancient "bourbon" coffee seeds. In other words, the current Kenyan coffee is of Brazilian origin. Due to differences in water, climate and handling, Kenyan and Brazilian beans are aromatic, full-bodied, fruity and have a rich and perfect taste.

Large farms usually have independent treatment facilities. A large number of small farmers usually pick ripe coffee fruits by hand. Coffee picking is a labor-intensive job that requires the whole family to deploy and even hire workers during the harvest season. The fresh fruit of the picked coffee needs to be delivered in time to the cooperative-owned coffee processing plant for pulping, which may be carried by ox carts, pick-up trucks or trucks. After peeling, Parchmentcoffee is briefly kept in co-operative processing plants and sent to privately owned factories for shelling. Kenya's coffee-growing areas are mainly concentrated in the highlands represented by Mount Mt.Kenya. Tropical climate, acid red volcanic soil provides a natural and suitable growth environment for coffee. The seven largest producing areas are most famous, including Nieri, Sika, Chiambu, Geliniya, Ruiru, Mulanga and the western side of Mount Kenya. The main producing areas, such as Nyeri and Ruiru in the middle of the country, were first brought to Kenya to grow Bourbon bourbon. In the 1950s, the then agricultural research institution ScottLaboratory selected two excellent hybrids, SL-28 and SL-34, through unremitting efforts. It subverts the long-standing prejudice that artificial breeding is not superior to natural varieties.
