Kenyan AA

Wholesale Kenyan AA Coffee - Premium Grade Bulk Beans

Tasting Notes: Sharp citrus acidity with blackcurrant and grapefruit brightness, wine-like complexity, clean finish. Full body that performs in both milk drinks and black coffee applications.

AA Grade Means Consistent Wholesale Quality

Kenya grades coffee by bean size using numbered screens. AA designation means screen size 17-18—the largest beans that command top prices at Nairobi's coffee auctions. For wholesale buyers, AA grade isn't just about size; it's about consistency. Larger beans from optimal elevations with careful processing translate to predictable extraction and reliable cup quality across your bulk coffee orders. When you're serving hundreds of cups daily, that consistency matters more than the premium you pay.

SL Varietals Drive the Flavor Profile

These aren't generic Bourbon beans. We source Kenyan AA featuring SL-28 and SL-34 varietals—developed in the 1930s by Scott Laboratories specifically for cup quality, not yield. Combined with Kenya's unique double-fermentation washing process (beans are fermented twice to remove all mucilage), these varietals produce the bright acidity and complex fruit notes that make Kenyan coffee instantly recognizable. This is why wholesale Kenyan AA costs more—and why it's worth it for cafes serious about single-origin programs.

Custom Roasted for Wholesale Accounts

We roast your Kenyan AA bulk order to your exact specifications. Most wholesale cafe accounts order Full City roast—dark enough to develop body and sweetness, light enough to preserve the signature brightness. If you're using it in espresso blends, we can roast slightly darker to add structure without losing the citrus notes. If it's your featured pour-over, lighter roasts showcase the wine-like acidity. We roast Monday through Friday; bulk orders typically ship within 24 hours of roasting.

Strategic Menu Positioning

Kenyan AA commands premium pricing—position it as your top-tier single-origin offering. The bright acidity makes it ideal for pour-over programs where you can charge $5-7 per cup and educate customers about grade, varietal, and processing. The full body means it also works in espresso blends where you want complexity without sacrificing structure. This is the coffee that converts customers from dark roasts to appreciating origin character—use it to build your specialty coffee reputation.
