Kenya Mtaro estate Monteiro (Waterway) treatment Plant PB Peanut

Kenya is a model country for fine coffee beans. Most coffee beans are graded by the Kenya Coffee Bureau and then sold at auctions. The system of public auction can be traced back to 1934. About 50 licensed agents in Kenya send sample beans to their customers for cup testing. Customers can bid for their favorite coffee at auction. This approach seems to encourage intermediary agents to erode farmers' income, so in 2006 Kenya opened up another 32 independent sales agents to negotiate directly with foreign coffee buyers without going through auctions. the better the coffee is, the better the price can be measured through the cup, so that more cooperatives and farms are willing to join, and can contact farmers directly to get first-hand information.

On the market, consumers are often confused by adding AA PLUS AA AB PB after Kenyan beans. AA and AB,PB, which are the best in AA PLUS, mean small round beans, which only represent the uniformity of particle size, not the quality. Most Kenyan beans come from processing plants and cooperatives, and good quality coffee will be added with the name of processing plant or cooperative. If only adding AA after Kenya, the general Kenyan bean quality and taste is poor, the Kenyan coffee grading system is quoted by many African countries. Such as Tanzania, Uganda, Congo, etc., can be harvested twice a year, April-June is the second production season, October-December is the main harvest season.

The Kenyan Mtaro estate Monteiro treatment plant is located on a mountain of 1600 meters 40 kilometers east of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It belongs to the Nyeri production area in western Kenya. It is a small processing plant that only selects farmers to pick fully ripe red cherries by hand, delivers them to the treatment plant immediately on the day of harvest, removes the peel and pulp, and then ferments for 16-48 hours to clean the surface mucous membrane. This is a key procedure for maintaining thick, sturdy BlackBerry acid. The price of coffee beans is determined here, so more and more Kenyan beans choose to do this important process in small processing plants, because fresh is of good quality.
