Arabica A, Screen 17

Wholesale Tanzania Arabica A Green Coffee, Screen 17
One screen below AA and often the better value for the cup you actually get. The beans are sized on a screen 17 sieve, so the roast is still even, while the price reflects the smaller bean rather than a weaker coffee. A sensible default when a roaster wants Tanzanian character without paying for the top screen.
