Rob says: In our annual coffee pilgrimage to Kenya, we come across unfamiliar names, even stumping the exporting company. And very rarely we only get the region name the coffee comes from, just like with this lot. It stood out on the cupping table, so despite its obscurity, its quality compelled us to make the purchase.
In the realm of Kenyan coffee, screen sizes like AA, AB, and PB (peaberry) are key indicators of quality and flavor. AA beans are the largest, prized for their uniformity and vibrant acidity. AB follows closely, offering similar quality with slightly smaller beans. PB, the smallest, boasts intensified flavors despite its size. Understanding these sizes ensures each cup of Kenyan coffee delivers a memorable experience.
