Looking for a good, mail order coffee roaster that you have used to get Kenya AA?

Bean looking for beans, or something like that

Kenya AA? Anti aircraft?

Kenyan Alcoholics Anonymous. They are really into their coffee.

Just think: if Billie Jean King had married Orson Bean she’d’ve been Billie Jean Bean.

Since we moved to Tulsa, we still order Kenya AA from Shaw's coffee in St. Louis. They roast the beans there. We generally buy 8lbs at a time because that is the most cost effective amount due to the shipping cost. Shawscoffee.com

LOL!!! Yes, something like that. Single origin fan, beans from one farm. Kenya is a major producer, I assume AA is a rating system within their own circle because I've seen "Kenya" without the AA. All these rules like Scotch naming conventions... I can't understand them all.

I know Starbucks draws a lot of haterade but I used to work at a company that had SB coffee and when I tried the Kenya AA, it was magical for me. It only lasted a couple of months, and I can't even find it in Starbuck anymore. The coffee growing world is in constant stress and always in flux due to demand and changing weather patterns that are making it harder and harder to farm.

I was thinking this is some kind of East African penlight battery.

Thanks!! <clicks link> $24 a pound!!! Holy sh*t!!! I remember when it was $14 a pound, no wonder it's so hard to find. It's approaching the coffee bean cost that is eaten by some animal and then pooped out... and then roasted. =)

Kopi Luwak is expensive !!! Kopi luwak is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, selling for between $220 and $1,100 per kilogram ($100 and $500/lb) in 2010

Amazon has about the best price

And for the record, No I do NOT buy that stuff!!! EWWW But some people do. I don't want shitty coffee.

Yoou might try George Howell Coffee Roasters out of one of the suburbs of Boston. George Howell is known for their high quality Single Origin coffees. Give them a try.

Yeah, and he'd be Orson Gottavagina.

If she were hyphenated she would have been Billie Jean King-Bean.
