Kenyan coffee has been recognized for its high-quality, meticulous preparation and exquisite flavours. All Kenyan coffees are graded by size with AA being the largest. AA grade coffees are those that are 17/18 screen size, meaning that they are bigger than 7.2 mm. Cherries are selectively handpicked and then pulped in Mariri’s hand pulper. Coffee is dry fermented for 16 to 24 hours and, after being washed, soaked in clean water for a further 24 hours. Wet parchment is laid to dry on raised beds for 10 to 18 days. Since the start of production, Kenyan coffee has been recognized for it’s quality, meticulous preparation and exquisite flavour. Enjoy!
