Discover Screen 18 Kenya AA Coffee

Screen 18 Kenya AA Coffee is a thoughtfully sourced single-origin selection built for coffee enthusiasts who value origin, craftsmanship, and a well-balanced cup. Sourced from Kenyan farms perched above 6,600 feet, these AA-grade beans mature slowly, absorbing minerals and developing a vivid brightness, a spectrum of berry-like sweetness, and a wine-like acidity. The result is a full-bodied, bold, and juicy cup that remains enjoyable across multiple brewing methods.

Origin, Grade, and What to Expect

• Kenya AA designation signals top-tier bean size and density, often delivering fruit-forward flavors and a clean finish.
• High-altitude origin slows maturation, letting beans accumulate complex sugars and nuanced acidity, enhancing the cup's overall balance.
• Screen 18 sorting emphasizes consistent size and density, supporting even roast development and predictable extraction for a smoother cup.

Roast Profile and Flavor You May Notice

• Medium–dark roast unlocks rich body while preserving the coffee's bright fruit notes and wine-like acidity.
• 100% Arabica beans emphasize clarity, with a nuanced palate that can hint at berries, dark chocolate, and citrus zest.
• The aroma is inviting and complex, setting the stage for a satisfying and lingering finish.

Packaging, Freshness, and Craft

The beans arrive in a premium kraft bag with a de-gassing filter and foil lining to maximize aroma retention and shelf life between uses.

• Screen 18 Crafted Coffee carries a family heritage dating to 1945, reflecting three generations of roasting knowledge and pride.

Brewing Ideas and Practical Use

Whether you brew with a pour-over, drip, or French press, this coffee adapts to your routine. Start with a standard grind and adjust brew time to taste; you may notice different expressions as you experiment.

• Pour-over or drip brewing tends to highlight clarity, brightness, and fruit notes, producing a clean cup with a gentle finish.
