LEVEL grading representation of 90 + Coffee beans

General coffee beans are graded in different ways according to the regulations of different countries, such as Kenya AA, AB, SHB, 18 mesh, G2 … Wait, it is a variety of different ways of grading.

Of course, the purpose of grading is to distinguish between high-quality products and inferior products, but the basis of many grades is not necessarily positively related to flavor, so even if the grade is high, it is not necessarily delicious, but at least it is a kind of data for reference. for beginners, they should think more about grading, but they should not be superstitious about it.

In addition to its own flavor symbol, each bean also has its own grading method, which is quite different from that of other countries, which is divided into the following seven grades.

L4 、 L7 、 L12 、 L21 、 L39 、 L95 、 L195

L means Level, and the classification is based on the quantity of production, the refinement of processing, the degree of difficulty and the rigor of screening.

The higher the number, the less the output, the more refined the processing, the more complex and difficult, and the stricter the screening, but 90 + does not publish the detailed classification, so it is actually similar to the flavor symbol and is just a reference data. but we still have to roughly understand the connotation, which can be simply divided into four grades.

L4 section: this grading can no longer be seen at 90 +. In the past, it refers to mixed harvested batches. When the flavor of a single producing area is not rich enough or the yield is too little, it is produced by mixing several excellent producing areas, which is a bit like the previous Aricha and Beloya. However, after 90 + years, the experimental control technology for coffee production has become more and more mature, this grading method has been no longer used.

L7, L12: most of the Isabia beans are in this grade, and the flavor is already very good, no matter the aroma or texture is impeccable. This grade of 90 + can be said to be an entry-level commodity with a fairly good CP value.

For example, Tchembe and Kemgin are L7, Nekisse and Hachira are L12.

L21, L39: this is almost the world of Geisha coffee in NPGE Manor, it can be expected that for 90 +, the Geisha variety itself is a high-grade representation, so the lowest grade is also in L21. Of course, it can also be extended to think that the care of Geisha may be harder and more stringent than that of Isabia beans.

In addition, specially treated Isabia beans can also be upgraded to this section to become comparable to Geisha.

For example, Lycello is L21, Juliette is L39, and Perci is L39, all three of which are Geisha;Nekisse Red in NPGE Manor (Essobria Nekisse with red treatment) upgraded to L39.

L95, L195: these two levels have to go through 90 + special processing methods, such as Red (red processing), Ruby (ruby processing), SK (Solkiln processing), which can be said to endorse the exclusive processing method of 90 +. But to get to the most advanced L195, you still have to Geisha.

For example, Lotus (Sk treatment), Sillvia (Sk treatment), Semeon Abay (master series), Nekisse Ruby (Ethiopian bean treated with ruby) are all L95, and Perci Ruby is the only L195 (Ruby treatment + Geisha variety).

In fact, in a word: the initial score is high when the pedigree is good, and the initial score is low when the pedigree is good, but after 90 + skillful hand processing, you can also be promoted to become a demon king.

But the higher the grade, the more expensive it is, but does it mean it must be delicious? Actually, it's not necessarily.

After all, no matter how good the raw bean itself is, no matter how rare it is, it is still necessary to cooperate with the baker's interpretation of beans in order to make good coffee, so as a reference, I believe that my tongue is king.
