Qianjie-introduction to coffee grading in Kenya

Coffee beans in Kenya are graded by particle size, usually divided into AA, AB, C, T, TT, MH, ML and other grades, and the quality is also in descending order. AA+ is the highest grade of Kenyan coffee, and only batches with particularly good flavor and few defects are allowed to do so. AA belongs to large granule raw bean and its yield is less. AB is slightly smaller than AA, and the output accounts for the majority. In addition, a small number of beans can be divided into PB (round beans) and E (elephant beans) according to the bean type. Chopped beans other than the above grades are called HE.

AA level: size between 17muri and 18 mesh

AB grade: between 15 Mel and 16 mesh, accounting for the majority of output, but also the most common grade of raw beans

Class C: size between 12Mui 14 mesh

PB: round raw beans, accounting for about 10% of all coffee beans

E grade (elephant bean): two beans in one large variant bean, also known as elephant ear bean Elephant ear, mostly in more than 18 mesh, also known as elephant bean, its quantity is very small.

TT grade: from AA and AB grade beans, the lighter raw beans blown by air flow filter indicate that the beans are soft and the hardness is not up to standard.

T level: below 12 items. T grade is from C grade beans, the lighter raw beans blown by air flow filter, the beans are soft, the hardness is not up to standard, and the particles are small, and there are many defective beans.

MH/ML grade: beans that have not been washed and have not been selected, because they have been harvested, fall beans, accounting for about 7% of all coffee beans, belong to the lowest grade beans, only for the Kenyan domestic market.

Knowledge: Kenyan coffee producing areas are mainly distributed in Central Province, Eastern Province, Western Rift Valley Province and Nyanza Province.
