CHEERS!! 5 Lbs of Fresh Green Un-RoastedArabicaKenyaGreen Coffee Beans KENYA - AFRICA Milling Process:Washed Harvest: July Grade: AA Cup Characteristics Notes of currant, black tea and hint of blackberry. Body:Medium Acidity: Bright Altitude:4,600 6,500 ft (1400 - 2000m) INFORMATION Our Kenya AB grade (15/16 screen) is a slightly smaller bean than Kenya AA, and is regarded by some as an overall superior coffee. With regards to acidity and brightness, Kenya is widely recognized as the bar, and our Kenya AB has been sourced and expertly processed, a top-notch offering not to be missed. It is cooperatively produced by many small farmers growing in the central Kenyan farmlands surrounding Mt. Kenya. The individual lots are consolidated at the local mill where they undergo a stringent double fermentation method, sometimes referred to as Kenyan Process, that accentuates its complexity. The parchment is sun dried on raised beds and transported to the Nairobi Coffee Exchange where it is graded, cupped for quality and ultimately sold . Kenya has long been established as leader in high-grade East African arabicaits best lots are famed for their fruity, clean, complex profiles, offering balance and pronounced tasting notes of everything from berries and stone fruit to sweet citrus. The Nairobi Coffee Exchange auctions are a quality based payment system that functions as the nerve center of a well oiled industry built upon decades of lab-based agri-research, applied farming and a strong network of cooperatives. At the exchanges small farmers have a seat at the table so to speak, where they can access a wide range of international buyers who have the will and capital to outbid one another in the perennial quest for a perfect cup. Truth be told, Kenyas growers are owed much of todays industry praise; for generations they have pushed the envelope and tested the limits of farming and processing capabilities in order to embrace advances in growing science. The main growing regions extend from the 17,000 foot, central peak of Mount Kenya all the way to the outskirts of the capital city of Nairobi to the south. Another portion of arabica farmlands lie on the slopes of Mt. Elgon, against Kenyas western border with Uganda. The Kenyan Process double fermentation method requires pulped cherries be twice soaked for 12 to 24 hours in fermentation tanks with additional rinsing in between. When finished the beans are separated by density by way of a water channel, removing the less dense floaters. The beans then undergo one final soak to reportedly promote healthy amino and fatty acid structures. Next the beans are sun-dried on raised beds under strict supervision for approximately 1 to 2 weeks until their moisture is reduced to 1112%.Cupping Notes are gathered by using the cupping method to get a general idea of what natural flavor notes a coffee contains. Flavor profile will vary between different brewing methods and roast profiles. As always if you Have any Questions or Concerns Feel free to Reach out to us.
