Qianjie-brief introduction of coffee grading system in Kenya

Growing at 6600 feet above sea level, Kenya AA is considered to be one of the best high-end delicious coffee in the world. The coffee beans produced by the plateau of Nigeria have a full body and rich, powerful, very pleasant acidity. The aroma also has floral notes, a wine finish / finish and citrus and berry colors. The largest screen size of the Kenyan coffee grading system is AA, which means that coffee beans are just over 1x4 inches in diameter.

Kenyan coffee beans are usually grown in areas 1500-2000 meters above sea level. Most coffee beans are grown by small farmers and are harvested about twice a year. Kenya coffee beans are characterized by fruit flavor, rich taste and slightly acidic coffee beans, but in addition, in order to improve the bad habit of small farmers being exploited, Kenya has established a very perfect auction system. It has also succeeded in getting rid of the situation in which small farmers were often exploited in the past.

Kenya coffee beans: AA (AA+), AB, C, PB, TT, T, E

E: Elephant beans (elephant bean), which is generally a hybrid of Malagogi and maragogype.

Usually there are two seeds in a coffee fruit, affixed face to face, one of which will be flat, called flat bean, or mother bean or double bean. E is in the growth process of these two seeds, the body sticks together and becomes a large-looking bean. Because it is a naturally occurring variation, the number is very small.

AA, AB, C: iron pickup, from large to sub-district

AA is the largest bean, followed by AB, and C refers to smaller beans.

PB: less round beans (bean-shaped berries)

Because the number of round beans is relatively small, it is also precious by comparison.

TT, T: lighter beans

Beans of TT and T grades are classified into another grade because of their relatively light weight and hardness that do not meet the official standards. Coffee beans of TT grade are between AA and AB, and T grades are between AA and AB, and T grades are smaller than C beans because they are not hard enough and light, so they are classified into another grade.

The most common coffee shop is Kenya AA or Kenya AA+,. The next time you see a falling coffee name in a coffee shop, do you already know how to read it? In fact, as long as you remember to see the word Kenya and think that it is a fruity coffee bean, the rest is just a distinction between particle size and weight.

Knowledge expansion: sun treatment is the first drying treatment and then remove the pericarp, while the water washing treatment is to remove the pericarp before drying.
