Kenya Arabica AA FAQ Unroasted Coffee Beans 1 kg

What are these beans?

Kenya Arabica AA FAQ is green, unroasted Arabica coffee from Kenya, in a 1 kg bag. These beans still need to be roasted: you cannot grind and brew them as they are. They are meant for people who roast their own coffee.

What AA and FAQ mean

Kenyan coffee is graded by bean size, and AA is the grade for the largest beans. FAQ stands for "fair average quality", the trade description of the lot within that grade.

Flavour

Roasted, these beans give notes of grapefruit, dark chocolate, wine and cocoa. The grapefruit and wine bring a bright, fruity side, while the dark chocolate and cocoa add depth. How the balance falls depends on your roast: a lighter roast tends to keep more of the fruit, and a darker roast pushes the cup towards chocolate and cocoa.
