Cafea de Specialitate "Kenya Blue Mountain"

Cultivata din tulpina Jamaica Blue Mountain pe culmile Keniei, aceasta Cafea are infatisarea boabelor jamaicane si o buna parte din aroma lor dezirabila, subliniata de o nota acida specifica Keniei si de aromele ce rezulta din bogatele soluri vulcanice. Kenya este una dintre cele mai frumoase tari de pe continentul african, cu plaje insorite la Oceanul Indian, platouri muntoase bogate, desert, savana si campii fertile. Cei aproximativ 35 milioane de locuitori sunt compusi din diverse grupuri tribale, Kikuyu fiind momentan la conducere, atat comercial cat si politic. Nivelul ridicat de coruptie din politica constituie o piedica serioasa in calea eforturilor post-coloniale ale tarii de a-si capitaliza substantialele resurse naturale.

O cafea Keniana buna este una din cele mai bune cafele de pe piata, datorita intensitatii, texturii si notelor fructate (coacaze negre si grepfrut). In ultimii ani, poate datorita prabusirii preturilor cafelei la nivel mondial sau factorilor sezonieri, a aparut un declin in disponibilitatea cafelelor de calitate atat de ridicata. Grosul productiei are loc pe ferme mici si medii, unde cafeaua este procesata cu apa si uscata la soare. Apoi este gradata in functie de marime si vanduta in loturi la licitatii saptamanale. Anual au loc doua recoltari, cea principala intre octombrie si decembie iar cea secundara intre iunie si august.

Plantatia Muthuthi este situata in districtul Nyeri, la 1600-1700m altitudine, este compusa din varietatile SL 34 si SL 28, crescute pe un sol vulcanic bogat, cu o temperatura corespunzatoare. Cafeaua este procesata cu apa proaspata din raul Tana si uscata integral la soare. Fabrica este in varful unui deal de unde se pot vedea culmile inzapezite ale celebrului Munte Kenya.

Grown from Jamaican Blue Mountain stock on the coffee growing slopes of Kenya. Kenya Blue Mountain has the appearance of the long Jamaican bean and much of the desirable flavour wich is enhanced by a touch of traditional Kenyan acidity and aromatics from the rich volcanic soils. Kenya is one of the most scenically beautiful countries on the African continent, boasting white sandy beaches on the Indian Ocean, lush highlands, desert, savannah and fertile lowlands. The 35 milion or so people who inhabit the country are made up of different tribal groups with the Kikuyu currently the dominant in both commerce and politics. Politically, high levels of corruption have hampered Kenya's post-colonial efforts to capitalise on its abundant natural resources. A good Kenyan is one of the finest coffees available on the market, due to its intensity of body and fruitness (black currant and grapefruit). In recent years, perhaps due to the collapse in world coffee prices as well as seasonal factors, there has been an overall decline in the availability of such high quality. The bulk of production is on small to medium sized farms, fully washed on site and sun dried on trestles in the sun. Coffee is graded according to size and sold in lots at the weekly auction. There are two harvests each year, the main crop is picked between October and December and the secondary crop(fly crop) is picked between June and August.

Muthuthi-ini is in Nyeri District at an altitude of 1600-1700m, the soil is rich volcanic, grown varieties are SL 34 and SL 28, fermented with fresh river water from the Tana River and fully sun dried. These trees grow on a very fertile land with a good temperature. The factory lies on top of a hill making it possible to view the snow capped peaks of the famous Mt. Kenya.
