Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, where they still grow coffee the same way they did as centuries ago. This is where the beans found their way to the Yemen port of Mocca where merchants and traders first tasted coffee.

This dry-processed coffee from the Sidamo region has the distinct taste of berry fruit and a very sweet aroma. It is smoothly finished with a clear aftertaste.

Kenya AA
$8.45 for 1/2lb
$14.95 for 1lb

Coffee cultivation in Kenya began around 1900 when Arabica coffee brought from Ethiopia were planted near Nairobi by Christian missionaries. From this initial farm of about 250 hectares, the industry has grown considerably, an estimated 100,000 farms now dedicated to coffee.

Kenyan coffees are traditionally processed with the wash method. After the beans are de-pulped of their fruit, they are fermented to clean the remaining mucilage from the seeds. After being washed thoroughly, they are dried using a unique practice of Kenya. Coffee, in its parchment, is spread evenly on raised tables stretched with woven mats, called “Kenya beds”. They allow fresh air to circulate around and under the beans during the drying stage.

The double A refers to the size and grade of the flat beans from Kenya. Much like our selection of eggs at the supermarket, double A is the cleanest, largest, and most uniform type of bean that Kenya has to offer.

We offer this coffee as a medium roast. It has a well balanced acidity and bright winy notes similiar to a ripe cherry, with a sweet aftertaste.
