Question about commodity item availability

Hello people,

First of all, I'm new. I haven't played the Beta so please forgive my ignorance.

I got a mission to retrieve some tea for a faction. So I look at the galactic map, filter out tea and see where a supply is by seeing who is exporting. I see a system a few jumps away (Wolf 898 or something like that). I go there and I see a system with around 8 stations. I tried all the stations but none are selling any tea. The stations that have a commodity market say that there is a supply and that they are exporting but there isn't any available to buy.

First of all, how do I know which station is selling the item that is being exported? Do they all sell or would I go find out by visiting each one? Also, how come there is no tea? On the galactic map there are several green lines (tea) going out of the system to neighbouring systems but no tea is available in the system itself. Am I missing something?

Thank you for your time.

-Eposis.
 
I think this needs a fix. Got a load of palladium, found a star port that imports palladium according to system view. But at the market I found no demand but a high supply. I have seen this more.

I am now simply take screenshots of commodity market screens and keep note on interesting deals/systems.

PS @Frontier devs Thank you for mentioning the expected downtime with server maintenance.
