Kenya AA is sourced from the Kenyan open auction system, which is part of the Nairobi Coffee Exchange. The quality of coffee and transparency in access has allowed for strong prices relative to other origins. Most coffee is grown in the hills surrounding Mount Kenya, where the rich soil helps produce high quality coffee. Farmer plots are exceptionally small and are generally classified by number of trees in production rather than the physical area of the farm. This allows farmers to exercise significant control over the coffee picked and delivered to the local wet mill. These mills have an abundance of water, which allows for the high-end washing methods that showcase the hallmark Kenyan profile.
Kenya's reputation as East Africa's top quility coffee producer is unserpassed. Many in the coffee trade would say that Kenya's coffee is the best in the world, and it would be hard to mount a convincing rebuttal.
The "AA" in Kenya AA denotes the grade of this fine Kenyan coffee.
