Green coffee from Kenya is graded by screen size, not necessarily by cup quality or defect count. The grades range from E (Elephant Bean), PB (peaberry), AA, AB, C, and other subsequent lower grades. This AA screen size coffee comprises large, dense green coffee beans at screen size 17/18.
At the Tatu Coffee Estate, only ripe red cherries are handpicked to ensure maximum quality and prime grades. After the daily harvest, the cherries undergo washed processing on the estate and are pulped, fermented, and soaked in clean water. The beans are then laid out on drying tables in the sun until they reach the correct moisture level for storage. After drying, they are packed into well-aerated conditioning bins until the coffee is ready for milling.
Tatu Coffee Estate pays extra attention to water conservation and recirculates the water used for processing in economical but hygienic ways. The estate also has backup fuel and electric energy sources when the weather is not conducive to standard sun-drying procedures.
All Boomtown Coffee® is 100% natural, free of artificial flavors or additives. All of our tasting notes are a result of a standard SCA cupping. Flavors found in home-brewed coffee are subject to individual taste and brew method.
