Arabica B, Screen 16
B · screen 16 (6.35 mm) · Kilimanjaro, Arusha and the Southern Highlands
Wholesale Tanzania Arabica B Green Coffee, Screen 16
Washed arabica sized on a screen 16 sieve, the working grade for blends. The beans are smaller, so B trades at a discount to AA and A, yet it comes off the same washing stations and can cup very well. Buy it on the cupping table, not on the letter.
