Kenya is a country that produces fine coffee. Only the traditional Arabica was introduced from Britain in 1900, and it was not until 1950 that the best bourbon variants of SL28 and SL34 appeared in Kenya today.

Most of the coffee beans are graded by the Kenya Coffee Bureau and then sold at the auction venue. The system of public auction can be traced back to 1934, and the auction method adopts the agent system. Kenya has 50 licensed agents who send sample beans to their customers for cup testing, and customers can bid for their favorite coffee at the auction. But this approach seems to encourage intermediate agents and erode farmers' income, so in 2006 Kenya opened another 32 independent sales agents to contact foreign coffee buyers directly without going through auctions. however, these must meet the standards such as the Kenyan Coffee Bureau's guarantee for the quality storage bank, and the two systems operate in parallel at the same time, and after several years of development, it is the most transparent auction distribution system. The better the quality of coffee, the better the price through the cup, so that more cooperatives and farms are willing to join, but I think the latter can get first-hand information in direct contact with farmers.

Graded AA PLUS ·AA ·AB system, but this is only particle size and uniformity, does not represent the difference in quality, high-quality altitude of 1600 to 2300 meters, 2009-2010 due to global warming and disease, output decreased to get high prices, Kenya coffee irreplaceable BlackBerry strong flavor, making good Kenya beans high price, can be harvested twice a year, April-June is the secondary production season.
