Kenya AA Marti Raqali processing Plant (Nyeri)

Kenya is a model country for producing fine coffee beans. Coffee was introduced from Britain in 1900. Only traditional Arabica did not have the best bourbon species of SL28 and SL34 in Kenya until 1950. All water treatment methods and graded AA PLUS AA AB systems are adopted, but this is only a difference in particle size uniformity and does not represent a difference in quality. High quality elevations range from 4200 to 6800 feet. From 2009 to 2010, production decreased and prices rose due to global warming and pathological changes. After that, fine coffee continued to rise and the irreplaceable BlackBerry flavor of Kenyan coffee kept the price of good Kenyan beans at a high price. therefore, direct coffee is the first choice to buy better quality Kenyan beans, larger beans with high wine BlackBerry acid, can be harvested twice a year, April-June is the secondary season. October-December is the harvest season in the main production season.

Most of the coffee beans are graded by the Kenya Coffee Bureau and sold at the auction venue. The system of public auction can be traced back to the way of auction before 1934. Kenya has 50 licensed agents who send sample beans to their customers for cup testing. Customers can bid for their favorite coffee at the auction. But this approach seems to encourage intermediary agents to erode farmers' income, so in 2006 Kenya opened 32 more independent sales agents to contact foreign coffee buyers directly without going through auctions. however, these must meet the standards such as the Kenya Coffee Agency's guarantee to the quality Storage Bank before they can be sold. The two systems operate in parallel at the same time, and after several years of development, it is the most transparent auction distribution system. The better the quality of coffee, the better the price through the cup, so that more cooperatives and farms are willing to join, but I think the latter can get first-hand information in direct contact with farmers.

Mathira Kariea Martirakalle treatment plant is located in the Nyeri production area in western Kenya. It began operation in 1951 and produced about 3666 bags of 220000 kg in 2011. It is expected to produce about 5800 bags of 350000 kg of red cherries next season. It is a small treatment plant. Only farmers are selected to pick fully ripe red cherries by hand, deliver them to the treatment plant immediately on the day of harvest, remove the peel and pulp, and then ferment for 16-48 hours to wash the surface mucosa. This is the key procedure to keep the thick, sturdy BlackBerry sour, and the price of coffee beans is determined here, so more and more Kenyan beans choose to do this important procedure in small processing plants, because only fresh can have good quality.

In April 2012, Direct Coffee introduced PB beans from Mathira Kariea Marty Lacalle processing Plant, and the response was very good. This time we re-introduced Kenyan AA grade coffee beans!
