{"product_id":"kenya-aa","title":"Kenya AA","description":"\u003cp\u003eKenya AA doesn't do subtlety. This is coffee with the volume turned all the way up — bold, bright, and absolutely unmistakable. If you want intensity and complexity in the same cup, this is it. Kenya produces some of the world's most sought-after coffee, and the AA grade is the highest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"AA\" refers to bean size (the largest screen size, 17-18), and larger beans generally produce more complex, flavourful cups. Kenyan coffee auctions are legendary — the best lots command some of the highest prices in the specialty world. This lot delivers the classic Kenyan profile: bold blackcurrant, tomato-like acidity, and a grapefruit brightness that's unlike anything else in the coffee world. It's intense, it's divisive, and people who love it become obsessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Central Highlands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,500–2,100m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed (double-washed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e SL28, SL34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/5 — Bold and intense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA (highest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackcurrant · Tomato · Grapefruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eValue Breakdown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer Cup\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer Kg\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCups\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£10.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66p\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£43.96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£21.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66p\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£43.98\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~33\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1kg \u003cstrong\u003e(Best Value)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£36.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55p\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£36.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBased on ~15g per cup — the standard dose for a proper mug of coffee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is Kenya AA For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeople who love bold, punchy coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kenya AA is intense — bright acidity, blackcurrant sweetness, and a full body.
