One thing that is hard to navigate while buying Kenyan coffees are the export rules and the auction system.
The export license are limited and almost all coffee needs to pass by an auction. The AA and AB lots will always fetch more, and by default, the C grade, no matter how tasty, are always getting paid less.
It's still important to buy the C lots because otherwise, they will receive a penny on the dollar on the internal market.
