Most of the coffee beans are graded by the Kenya Coffee Bureau and sold at the auction venue. The system of public auction can be traced back to the way of auction before 1934. Kenya has 50 licensed agents who send sample beans to their customers for cup testing. Customers can bid for their favorite coffee at the auction. But this approach seems to encourage intermediary agents to erode farmers' income, so in 2006 Kenya opened 32 more independent sales agents to contact foreign coffee buyers directly without going through auctions. however, these must meet the standards such as the Kenya Coffee Agency's guarantee to the quality Storage Bank before they can be sold. 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.

What is the grading of coffee beans?

Usually when we look at individual coffee, we often see one or two acronyms in the long name, such as PB, AA, G1, etc., which actually represent the grade given to coffee beans by the producing country.

There is no universal coffee bean grading system on this earth.

The purpose of grading is to provide a rough benchmark at the time of trading. It must be noted that there is no universal coffee bean grading system (draw the bottom line) on this earth. In fact, the name and basis of the classification is decided by each producing country. There are a few points that we must pay special attention to when discussing the classification system:

The standard of grading varies from country to country.

In some countries, the name of the grading system is the same, but the actual definition is not quite the same.

It is difficult to make cross-border comparisons because the systems are different and the characteristics of each country are different.

Grading is only a reference and is not the only or most critical factor affecting flavor.

E refers to the elephant, but not the elephant bean species in the breed.

The filter size of AB An is 6.80mm and that of B is 6.20mm. These two are sold together, so they are called AB. In a harvest, most of the coffee beans will be concentrated in this grade.

PB is called Peaberry in English and small round beans in Taiwan, or public beans or single peas, relative to ordinary flat beans. It is rare to get small and round beans because there is only one seed in the fruit. The effect on flavor is inconclusive, and some people like it so much that PB will be singled out for sale.
