Kenya AA

Kenyan coffee is renowned for being organized and sold in small volumes from specific estates or washing stations, referred to as "factories." While single-factory lots represent the highest quality, Kenya’s coffee exports follow a wide distribution pattern similar to other coffee-producing countries, with microlots at the top and bulk volumes comprising the larger shipments. Microlots hold a significant proportion of the market, but the bulk market remains substantial.

The AA FAQ coffee is a blend from select producing groups across Kenya’s central counties. In Kenya, "FAQ" stands for "fair to average quality," a cup quality designation rather than a physical grade. Combined with the physical grade "AA" (screen sizes 17-18), Kenya offers interchangeable preparations and cup qualities. Each exporter’s quality team selects appropriate coffees to fit the system's expectations, resulting in unique final blends.
