Nearing the top of the list of the world's finest Arabica coffees is our Decaffeinated Kenya "AA". What is the "AA" you wonder? The Coffee Board of Kenya realizes the quality of coffee they are capable of making and they have strict guidelines in place to grow the best beans possible. The "AA" denotes the size, shape and density of the bean. The grading scale from largest to smallest is AA, AB, PB, C, E, TT and T. It is a well-known fact that the largest, "AA", bean is going to produce more of the treasured oils that give your coffee the fabulous aroma and intense flavor. Kenya has rich, red volcanic soil and coffee is grown at altitudes of 4900 to 6800 feet above sea level. Plateaus where the coffee is grown surround the now extinct Mount Kenya, and they produce about 2 million bags of coffee per year. Kenyans have been growing coffee there since the end of the 19th century when Missionaries came with seedlings. This is kind of surprising considering how close Kenya is to Ethiopia, where coffee plants originated and have been cultivated for centuries.
Kenya AA Arabica beans are almost all wet-processed meaning that the cherry's outer layer is stripped off with a machine and then the beans are placed into a water tank. While in the fermentation tank, the beans natural enzymes loosen the sticky residue left on the bean. When laid out to dry, the last layer, parchment, is easily removed from the bean with a huller.
Nothing here in Kenya is left to chance. Research and development is top-notch. Coffee is painstakingly prepared using proven methods and advanced equipment. Kenya has a reputation of absolute excellence in coffee production. You will find that Kenya AA Coffee has a full bodied texture and delicate acidity with a smooth wine-like flavor. It presents a gentle floral fragrant aroma with overtones of berries and citrus.
The quality of our Decaffeinated Kenya AA gourmet coffee is superb. An outstanding decaf cup has 1/40 of the caffeine of a regular cup, but every drop of its amazing flavor and aroma isK still in there! Since caffeine is orderless and tasteless, when expertly removed, your decaf coffee will be as delicious as nature intended for it to be.
So now you know, the AA isn't for Astounding Arabica, or Awesome Aroma. It isn't even for Awe-inspiring Africa or Accomplished Agriculture...but it certainly could be.
A heat-sealed valve bag will ensure the freshest decaf coffee, which will be fresh roasted the very day it ships. Enjoy!
