All the Coffee we source from Kenya is carefully graded after harvest and later after hulling. The process involves separating (sorting) the Coffee which is later rated by bean size as well as shape, color, and density. The best coffee beans from Kenya are graded Kenya AA which are grown at elevations higher than 6,600 feet above sea level and are considered to be one of the world’s finest Specialty Coffees. Other Graders are AB, PB, C TT, T MBUNI.  A general rules with Kenya coffee beans is that bigger beans have more essential oils that enhance the tastes and aromas. Other factors are also important such as the quality which is where the Certified Q Graders (cuppers) also known as professional coffee tasters debate whether the bean size necessarily means a better quality of roasted, ground and brewed Kenyan coffee.
