This Kenya AA FAQ is a combination of processed coffee from select producing groups across Kenya’s central counties. “FAQ” in Kenya stands for “fair to average quality” and is a cup quality designation rather than a physical grade. So, combined with the physical grade, (in this case “AA” for the country’s larger screen sizes, 17-18) Kenya is able to offer interchangeable physical preparations and cup qualities from throughout the country.  Within this classification system, each exporter’s quality team is responsible for selecting appropriate coffees that fit the system’s expectations. But of course, no two final blends will be alike.
