Speaking of sour coffee, many people may only think of Yirgacheffe, Oiran from Ethiopia, or Geisha from Panama. But they don’t know that Kenyan coffee also has a rich sweet and sour aroma, and tastes like juice.
Kenyan coffee usually uses double washing processing, and the varieties are SL28 and SL34.
The unique flavor of Kenyan coffee is also closely related to the exquisite coffee washing process. Generally, the washing and fermentation time of Central and South American coffee beans does not exceed 36 hours, but the washing time in Kenya is as long as 72 hours. After 48 hours of fermentation, the surface pectin is removed, and another 24 hours of soaking in clean water is required. Kenya's unique washing technology is called "Kenyan double fermentation" or "double soaking" washing method. This additional fermentation procedure provides an amazing taste to the coffee, and the coffee flavor is bright and clean.
SL28 has significant plum and citrus flavors, showing a rich and deep sour aroma of stone fruits, similar to the mellow sweetness of wine; SL34 mainly has good fruit acidity and aromas of nuts, spices and other aromas. Moreover, the unique coffee flavor combined with Kenya's unique high-phosphate soil has subverted the long-standing prejudice that artificially selected varieties are not as good as natural varieties. It has also allowed Kenyan coffee to establish a perfect reputation in the coffee industry.
When Kenyan coffee is darkly roasted, it will have a heavy oily feel and a calm aroma, while when it is lightly roasted, it will show the unique aroma of ebony plums, cherry tomatoes and flowers. Therefore, if you want to drink the typical berry flavor, be sure to choose fresh Kenyan coffee beans that are lightly roasted or medium-light roasted.
