Kenya Coffee Raw Bean Kenya AA green bean

Coffee entered Kenya in the 19th century, when Ethiopian coffee drinks were imported into Kenya through southern Yemen. But it was not until the early 20th century that the bourbon was introduced by the St. Austin Mission. Kenyan coffee is mostly grown at an altitude of 1500 to 2100 meters and is harvested twice a year. To ensure that only ripe berries are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. Kenyan coffee is grown by small farmers. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the fresh coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station. The washing station sends the dried coffee to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) to the cooperative ("parchment coffee beans" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling). All the coffees are collected together, and growers charge an average price according to their actual quality. This trading method generally works well and is fair to both growers and consumers.
