Thank you so much for sharing this info with us, who have not visited coffee farms or processing facilities. I'm thinking some of that coffee would do much better as compost. If there's a way to do that, making it for soil enrichment, they can possibly produce better crops in the future. However... That stuff should never be sold as drinkable coffee, because that's not what it is. At the rate at which specialty coffee is catching on and taking off, there should be no problems getting more money for the drinkable coffees being produced, considering that fair trade is happening within the production region/country of origin. But that is more of an ethics issue within that region/country.
Does the C-Grade coffee featured in this video come inside of the same type of parchment as the C-Grade in your parchment video? Thanks for the informative video!
Thanks Tom! I bought 5 lbs of the "Kenya Nyeri Kiandu AB" today. Was that the Kenya AB in the video? I also added a pound of the "Guatemala Acatenango Gesha Lot 2", which will be a new experience for me.
Ha ha - I read folgers and floggers ... anyway you are actually right, but *I* don't sell it to them, the traders do for sure. Instant coffee, as well as coffee sold pre-ground (like pre-packaged portions used for brewing in offices etc) are where low grades and off grades go. -tom
This is probably the most informative thing I’ve ever seen
These are some of the most valuable coffee videos on TH-cam. Fascinating!
This channel, and particularly this video, is one of the most educational materials on #coffee I've found on TH-cam. Thanks!
very much appreciate this comment! -tom
Am a coffee farmer in Mt. Kenya Highlands and I found this documentary quite informative; obviously hearing it from a buyer's point of view.
I need to get to know you

Really enlightening, thanks!

it wasn't that exact coffee but yes, same grade (AB) which can often be as good or even better than AA! -tom
Very educational
Thanks for another good video
Where did you say the Kenyan samples are from???
Alexander Chapman Kenyacof. But maybe Thompson means Kencoff?
No, it's Kenyacof.
So what do they do with all that nasty coffee? Sell it to flogers?
idk probably use it for something.
something tells me that information is a closely guarded secret

It's going to be hard to sleep tonight.
Titles at 3'25" vs. 7"43" are contradictory on the same coffee! My best guess is 3'25" is the AA i/o AB.
Thanks for pointing this error out! you are correct... sorry about that -tom
