Coffee Beans

Arabica is grown at higher altitudes and is prized for its refined aroma and mild, sweet taste. 

• Washed Arabica (Plantation Coffee): Beans are pulped and washed before drying, resulting in a cleaner, brighter cup.

  • Plantation AAA: Extra-large beans (Screen 19+), premium quality with a rich, balanced profile.

  • Plantation AA: Large, high-density beans (Screen 18) with refined acidity and a smooth body.

  • Plantation A: The standard export grade (Screen 17), known for its versatile and balanced flavour.

  • Plantation PB (Peaberry): Small, round, single seeds with concentrated flavor and lively acidity.

• Natural Arabica (Arabica Cherry): Sun-dried with the fruit intact, these beans have lower acidity and more body.

  • Cherry AAA / AA / A: Graded by size (AAA being the largest) and used for various commercial export blends. 

Robusta is heartier, has more caffeine, and is used to provide strength and "crema" in espresso blends.

• Washed Robusta (Robusta Parchment): Wet-processed for a cleaner, less harsh Robusta taste.

  • Kaapi Royale (Specialty): The highest grade of washed Robusta (Screen 17+). It is defect-free, bold, and has chocolate-forward notes without typical Robusta bitterness.

  • Parchment AA / A / AB: Standard grades used for body and structural strength in blends.

• Natural Robusta (Robusta Cherry): Sun-dried with the fruit, offering a bold, intense, and earthy flavor.

  • Cherry AA: Large beans with a strong crema and bold, nutty undertones.

  • Cherry A / AB: Standard commercial grades with balanced bitterness and chocolate notes.
