Kenyan coffee bean grade

Grading:

The best coffee grade in Kenya is bean berry coffee (PB), followed by AA, AB and so on.

PB (PeaBerry) round beans: this is the grading for small round beans. This means that there is only one stone in the coffee fruit, not the common two kernels.

E: that is, "elephant beans", the size is very large, and the output is relatively small.

AA: this is a more common grade. Coffee beans are larger in size and have a particle size higher than 18 mesh or 7.22mm. This kind of beans usually get the highest price.

AB: this grade coffee bean combines A (particle size 16 mesh or 6.80mm) with B (particle size 15 mesh or 6.20mm); accounts for about 30 per cent of Kenya's annual coffee production.

C: this grade is lower than that of AB and is rare in high-quality coffee.

TT: a lower grade, mostly consisting of small beans removed from AA, AB, and E beans. If screened by density, the lightest beans are usually TT.

T: the lowest grade, usually made up of coffee crumbs and broken beans.

MH | ML: these two abbreviations stand for Mbuni Heavy and Mbuni Light. Mbuni means coffee beans that are sun-treated. These beans are considered to be of low quality, usually with immature or overripe coffee beans, and the price is quite low. This grade accounts for about 7% of Kenya's annual coffee production.

How about Kenyan coffee beans?

Coffee is Kenya's second export product after tea. The main variety of coffee beans produced in Kenya is Arabica, which is one of the best quality coffee varieties in the world.

In the 16th century, Portuguese colonists occupied the coastal areas. In 1890, Germany and Britain divided East Africa, and Kenya was classified as Britain. The British government declared Kenya its "East African protectorate" in 1895 and changed it into its colony in 1920. Coffee was grown on large estates under British colonial rule, and the harvested beans were shipped to London for sale. The Coffee Act of 1933 was passed and the Kenya Coffee Commission was established, which in turn transferred coffee sales to Kenya. The auction system was established in 1934 and is still in use today. The following year, a draft grading system to help improve the quality of coffee was formally prepared. Kenya was founded in the Republic of Kenya on December 12, 1964 and remains in the Commonwealth. Nowadays, a variety of high-quality coffee can be produced. Kenya has made considerable progress in coffee research and development, and many farmers have highly professional knowledge of production. Kenya's coffee bidding system should help to get higher prices for producers who value quality.
