Each coffee producing country has its own classification system and classification name, so you may see the following words on the coffee label: "SHB","AA","Supremo","Extra-Fancy","G1 / G2". Wait, these are the graded names of coffee beans. Commercial roasted beans are sometimes labeled as single-serve coffee grades, but are usually not labeled.

Central American coffee is classified according to the elevation at which it is grown, with beans above 4500 feet labeled SHB(Strictly Hard Bean). "AA+" is the highest grade of Kenyan coffee, only batches with excellent flavor and few defects are allowed to be labeled "AA+,""AA" is the largest particle,"AB" is smaller,"PB" is round beans; Colombia in South America uses the appearance size of coffee beans and defect rate as grading standards, and "Supremo" indicates the largest particle. It is worth noting that the appearance size of coffee beans is not related to flavor, and higher production altitude usually means better flavor.
