Accounting for 55% of Kenya's total coffee production (40% of the number of estates) is run by numerous small operators. Seeing that coffee is absolutely profitable, these small operators continue to increase the need for agronomy and the development of high-quality coffee tree species, thus greatly promoting the development of coffee in Kenya.

To ensure that only ripe coffee fruits are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station, where the sun-dried coffee is sent to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) ("parchment coffee" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling).

The Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very seriously, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. Kenyan coffee buyers are world-class high-quality coffee buyers, and no other country can grow, produce and sell coffee on a continuous basis like Kenya. All coffee beans are first purchased by the Kenya Coffee Commission, where they are identified, graded, and then sold at weekly auctions, where they are no longer graded. The best coffee grade is bean berry coffee (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB and so on. The fine coffee is shiny, delicious and slightly alcoholic. Kenyan Coffee has become more famous with the sensation of the Hollywood movie "out of Africa". Karen, the heroine played by Meryl Streep, is a writer and coffee planter. Many people probably remember Karen's yellow-and-white linen dress, the beautiful scenery and the magnificent sunset. What is even more unforgettable is Karen's dream of having a coffee plantation in Africa.

Kenya, located in East Africa, is one of the major coffee producing countries. More than 6 million people in the country are engaged in the coffee industry, mostly in the form of a combination of small farmers and cooperatives. Coffee trees in Kenya are mostly planted at 1400 m-2000 m above sea level, and the growing areas include Ruiri, Thika, Kirinyaga and Mt. Kenya West, Nyeri, Kiambu and Muranga. Mainly in the foothills of Mt.Kenya and Aberdare. There are many producing areas in Kenya that strive to preserve the native forest ecosystem, protect the natural gene pool, support the reproduction of wild coffee varieties and breed a variety of coffee trees. A bourbon line screened and cultivated by French and British missionaries and researchers in Kenya at the beginning of the 20th century. Over the past hundred years, it has adapted to the high concentration of phosphate soil in Kenya, giving birth to the special sour and fragrant spirit of Kenyan beans, which is different from bourbon beans in Central and South America. This Kenyan native species was created by Scott Laboratories in 1930, known as SL for short. Agronomists wanted to find a kind of bourbon with high yield and resistance to diseases and insect pests, and obtained SL28 through experiments. SL28 is a genetic variant with a mixed pedigree of French missionaries, mochas and Yementibica. The original goal of breeding SL28 was to mass-produce coffee beans with high quality and resistance to diseases and insect pests. Although the output of SL28 was not as large as expected, the copper leaf color and broad bean-shaped beans have great sweetness, balance and complex flavor, as well as remarkable citrus and black plum characteristics. This important variety leads us to the unique Kenyan style: strong acidity, rich taste and beautiful balance. Kenya AA is one of them.

AA is a class name for the currency of raw coffee beans. The grade of raw coffee beans is generally AA,A,B,C, which mainly refers to the size of coffee beans. AA refers to coffee beans with larger particles, and coffee beans with particles of more than 17 mesh (17 mesh = 6.75MM).

SL28 is a delicious variety, suitable for growing in mid-and high-altitude areas where leaf rust is not serious. It can produce 1.8 tons of raw beans per hectare and drink the charming sour plum flavor to reflect the national treasure of Kenya.
