Most of the coffee beans are graded by the Kenya Coffee Bureau and then sold at the auction. 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 intermediary agents and erode farmers' income, so in 2006 Kenya opened 32 more independent sales agents to contact foreign coffee buyers directly without going through auctions. but all of these have to reach the quality of the Kenyan Coffee Board? Storage? Only by standards such as bank guarantees can the two systems operate in parallel. After several years of development, the two systems are the most transparent auction distribution system. The better the coffee quality is, the better the price can be measured through the cup, so that more cooperatives and farms are willing to join. However, I think the latter can contact farmers directly to get first-hand information.

The graded AA PLUS/AA/ AB system is adopted, but this is only particle size and uniformity, and does not represent the difference in quality. the altitude of high quality ranges from 1600 to 2300 meters. From 2009 to 2010, due to the influence of global warming and pathological changes, the output decreased and the price increased. The irreplaceable black acid flavor of Kenyan coffee makes good Kenyan beans at a high price and can be harvested twice a year. April-June is the second production season, and October-December is the main harvest season.

The Gachatha Gachasha treatment plant in Nyeri, a major producer in Kenya, collects farmers no more than 5km away and buys raw beans from about 750farmers nearby. Each farmer grows an average of 200 coffee trees, which are treated with traditional Kenyan washing. The biggest feature of this place is that the shade is dominated by banana leaves, with fresh peach blossom aromas, cream and wild flower honey taste, red currant, kumquat acidity, acidity is the focus of Kenya.
