The Story
Kenya's AA designation refers to bean size—screen 17/18, the largest grade—but size alone doesn't explain why Kenyan coffee commands a premium. Our lot comes from cooperatives around Mount Kenya, where SL28 and SL34 cultivars (developed at the Scott Laboratories in the 1930s) thrive in the deep red volcanic soil. Kenya's signature double-fermentation wash process—24 hours dry, then 24 hours submerged—creates the intense, almost electric acidity the origin is famous for. Blackcurrant and pink grapefruit dominate the cup, with a savory tomato sweetness and syrupy body that competition judges consistently score in the 90s.
