What we sell

Arabica and Robusta, bought at the Nairobi exchange and roasted in Nairobi. Prices depend on grade, volume and destination, so every quote is written for the order.

Arabica

Kenya’s Arabica is graded by bean size and density after milling, not by farm or region. A lot is screened, and the screen it falls through is its grade.

Arabica grades
GradeWhat it isTypically bought for
AAThe largest screen. Big, dense beans.Single-origin roasts and premium retail, where the cup is the selling point.
ABThe commercial backbone of Kenyan Arabica — a step down in size from AA, and the most widely traded grade.Everyday retail lines and blends that need volume with consistency.
PBPeaberry. One rounded bean instead of two flat ones, separated out during grading.Speciality roasters who want it named on the bag.
CSmaller beans below the AB screen.Blending, where size matters less than cost and consistency.

Robusta

Heavier body and higher yield than Arabica, and it does a different job in a blend.

Robusta screen sizes
ScreenTypically bought for
Screen 18The largest. Espresso bases where crema and body carry the shot.
Screen 16General blending and commercial roasting.
Screen 12Smaller beans, largely for instant production.

Roast and grind

Roasted to your profile and ground to your brew method, or left whole bean. Filter, espresso, French press or Turkish grind, packed the day it is ground.

Pack formats

We pack from 100 g to 50 kg. The different packs cater to retail, catering or trade.

Valve bags where the coffee needs them — freshly roasted and ground coffee has to breathe. A 50 kg bag of unroasted beans does not, so it does not get one.

We also supply unroasted beans in 50 kg bags, mainly for export. Tell us the grade and the volume and we will quote.
