FrontStreet Coffee Kenya AA

Coffee from Kenya's producing regions is typically graded by bean size, classified from large to small as AA, AB, C, T, TT, etc., with quality decreasing accordingly. AA+ is the highest grade of Kenyan coffee, only batches with exceptionally excellent flavor and few defects are permitted to be marked as such. No wonder these beans look so beautiful, each one full and plump—the AA grade is not just for show. Therefore, Kenya's best coffee beans are AA grade, sought after by many coffee enthusiasts and recommended by FrontStreet Coffee.

72-Hour Fermentation Washed Processing Method

Using a cyclic重复处理法 where fermentation is followed by washing, the highest quality coffee cherries are selected on the day of harvest, then pulped and fermented for 24 hours. After 24 hours, they are washed with clean river water. Next, they undergo another 24-hour fermentation in clean river water, followed by washing again. This process is repeated for 3 cycles, reaching 72 hours total, thus called the Kenyan 72-hour fermentation washed processing method, abbreviated as K72.
