Qianjie-introduction to Columbia Coffee grading system

In order to distinguish between good quality coffee beans and poor quality coffee beans, we grade the coffee. Coffee grading is usually based on defect rate, bean size, altitude, raw bean density, treatment standards and so on, so it is more often described by a variety of standards.

In fact, each country varies greatly due to historical reasons, trade interests, climate, topography and other factors. We cannot compare heroes on the basis of a unified standard, the same calculation method of defects, or simply in terms of altitude. It is not possible to compare a certain level of one country with a certain level of another country. This is all wrong and not objective and direct comparison.

Classify according to the size of legume

Grades and standards: Supremo 95% 17 mesh, Supremo screen 18 + 95% 18 mesh, Excelso Extra 95% 16 mesh, Excelso EP 14-16 mesh, U.G.Q. 14 mesh and above

The meaning and rules of the name of Colombian coffee raw bean:

Colombia Huila Supremo SC17/18 FNC

Country + producing area + graded name + other

FNC:Federacion Nacional de Cafeteos de Colombia

Colombian producers Association

Knowledge: Augustine, which produces Colombia, is located in the south of Huilan area. Most of them are mainly Arabica tin cards, which are cultivated in the shade. Generally, it is picked by hand, and most of the treatment methods are natural drying. Italian coffee maker and mocha pot are the best choices for brewing Colombia.
