The journey of the coffee beans begins with pulping, where the outer skin of the cherries is gently removed to reveal the precious beans within. Following pulping, the beans undergo a meticulous fermentation process, during which they are immersed in water to enhance their flavor and aroma. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed to remove any remaining pulp, leaving behind pristine coffee beans ready for drying. Under the watchful eye of skilled workers, the beans are carefully spread out on raised drying beds, where they bask in the warm Kenyan sun. Throughout the drying process, the beans are meticulously monitored and turned regularly to ensure uniform drying and optimal flavor development. Once dried to perfection, the beans are carefully bagged and prepared for export, ready to embark on their journey to coffee lovers around the world. The AA designation refers to the screen size and quality grade of the coffee beans. AA beans are typically larger and considered of higher quality due to their denser and more flavorful nature. This grading system is unique to Kenya and is based on the size, shape, and density of the beans. Overall, the Kenya Kutere AA washed coffee represents the culmination of careful cultivation, processing, and craftsmanship characteristic of the Nyeri region. Its distinct flavor profile and high quality make it a sought-after coffee among enthusiasts worldwide.
