Qianjie-introduction of coffee bean grading system in Ethiopia

The definition of the grade of Essex coffee is complicated.

Ethiopian coffee is sold through the trading system of the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange (ECX).

By providing a secure and reliable end-to-end commodity processing, grading and storage system, ECX ensures the matching of quotations and bids for commodity transactions, as well as a risk-free payment and delivery system, and finally settles transactions, ensuring the security required by all commodity market participants in the market, while serving everyone fairly and effectively.

The way ECX deals with coffee goes something like this: first, farmers sell coffee berries to local washing plants, some of which pay higher prices for better quality coffee berries. The washing plant will send the processed raw beans to the warehouse of the delivery station.

Before the advent of ECX, for washed coffee, the export grade was G1 and G2; for sun-cured coffee, the export level was G3, G4, G4, G5, which means that the highest level of sun exposure was G3.

After the emergence of ECX, there is a redefinition of classification, and there is no difference in the classification name of washing, while the definition of sunlight appears G1 for the first time, which is why there are now Ethiopian sunburn G1 and G2 on the market, while G3 begins to decrease slowly.

Washed beans Grade1 represents 3 defective beans per 300g of raw beans.

Grade2 stands for 412 defective beans per 300g.

Hand-picked defective beans-

Of course, in fact, the defective bean standards of sellers and buyers are certainly different, but the comparison of defect rates is still easy to tell. G1 has significantly fewer defective beans than G2, which means that Ethiopian G1 coffee beans are better than G2 coffee beans, excluding the specific flavor and roasting degree, at least in terms of defective flavor.

Knowledge: the coffee grading of most coffee-producing countries is not carried out according to one standard, but not only to examine the defect rate, but also to ensure the size of beans, but also to measure the grade of beans by multiple standards such as a certain altitude.
