Kenya AA Caffè Verde

About This Coffee

Kenya AA green (unroasted) coffee with a screen size of 18-19, featuring very low to zero defect rating. The variety most used for quality Kenyan coffees is Blue Mountain, the hybrid developed in the Jamaican mountains. When roasted as espresso (agtron 50-55, Italian), it produces a hazelnut-colored crema with spiced aromas of cardamom, nutmeg, and tobacco, with light but consistent body and pronounced acidity. When roasted for filter (agtron 65-70, full city), it presents herbaceous and floral notes with still prominent spice and very marked acidity.

Caffè Lab

Andrea Bernini founded Caffè Lab in 2015 as a specialty coffee selection and importing company rooted in the heritage of his family's historic Florentine roasting house, Mokaflor, which has been operating since 1950 and handles the actual roasting of Caffè Lab's coffees. The project is built around experimentation and pushing beyond traditional Italian espresso methods, with a team that includes coffee specialists Simone Celli, Gabriele Cortopassi, and Robert Brinck alongside Bianca Bernini on communications. Caffè Lab's range spans from classic Italian blends and Fairtrade organic certified offerings to exclusive single origins from Nepal, Jamaica Blue Mountain, and Ethiopia Sidamo, available in beans, ground, pods, capsules, and even green coffee for home roasters. The company also founded Women in Coffee Italy, recognized by the International Women's Coffee Alliance, adding an advocacy dimension that distinguishes it from most Italian roasting operations. By pairing a seventy five year old family roasting tradition with a progressive, education driven approach to specialty coffee, Caffè Lab bridges two eras of Italian coffee culture.
