FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Starbucks Kenya Coffee

Kenya coffee beans generally have a wonderful fruity flavor, with tastes of blackberry and grapefruit, or a sweet and sour lemon taste. They are aromatic, rich, and full of fruit aroma. In fact, if paired with sweet and sour fruits like grapefruit, it should basically be a cup of fruit tea.

That's right, Starbucks' Kenya coffee beans are indeed Kenya coffee beans. However, when it comes to Kenya, although it neighbors Ethiopia, which is rich in coffee beans and the ancestor of coffee beans, and belongs to the African continent - Kenya coffee beans basically have little to do with Ethiopia...

But Kenya and Brazil are really too different in terms of geographical environment, climate conditions, etc. Kenya's mountains are basically at altitudes of 1200 to 2000 meters. Friends who often read little CA must know that such altitude is really~~~too suitable for coffee tree growth~~ Moreover, because the temperature in mountainous areas is lower and growth is slower, the aromatic components of coffee beans are fully developed, the fruit acidity is more obvious, and the texture is also harder.

Therefore, compared to original Brazilian beans, Kenya beans taste completely different.

In addition, Kenya was once a British colony. With the high level of industrialization at that time, the British established a complete cultivation and quality management system here, which is still in use today. Until now, many small coffee farmers in Kenya send their picked fruits to cooperative farms for unified processing, and the entire process is supervised by the official Coffee Directorate, which is quite rigorous. Therefore, Kenya coffee beans are also world-famous for their guaranteed quality.

Processing Method:

By the way, the unified processing method used by Kenya cooperative farms is generally washed.

Grading:

Kenya beans are graded according to the size, shape, and hardness of the beans. From best to worst, they are divided into: PB (highest grade), AA++, AA+, AA, AB (lowest grade)

Knowledge Point:

Ethiopia also grades based on defective beans.
