The method is to randomly take 300 grams of samples and put them on black paper, and different defects correspond to different points, such as 1 point for 1 pebble, 5 points for 1 big pebble, 1 point for 5 broken beans, and 1 point for 5 pest beans.

Introduction to the method of flavor description and taste treatment of coffee raw bean grade G1 growing environment

Representative countries: Brazil, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Cuba, Peru, etc.

The method is to randomly take 300g samples and put them on black paper, and different defects correspond to different points, such as 1 point for 1 pebble, 5 points for 1 big pebble, 1 point for 5 broken beans and 1 point for 5 pest beans. Finally, it is graded according to the accumulated defect score, the highest level is NY2 and the lowest level is NY8. Indonesian coffee beans are divided into 6 grades, Gr1~Gr6, and Ethiopia coffee beans have the highest level of Gr2.

Most of the people who use this classification are South American countries. I don't know what Ethiopia and Indonesia do to represent countries: Guatemala, Costa Rica, Savaldo and other Central American countries.

The higher the altitude of the origin, the better the quality of coffee. Because of the low altitude and hot climate, coffee trees grow faster and absorb less soil nutrients, so the taste of coffee is poor.

Those growing at 1375m to 1524m are extremely hard beans (SHB); those growing at 915m to 1375m are high hard beans (GHB); those growing at 610m to 915m are called HB; those growing at 300m to 1000m are called Pacific grade (Pacific).

Mode of production

Washing type

In the sink, after rubbing with water and utensils, the pulp and gum are removed and dried, which is called water-washed coffee beans with uniform quality.

Non-washing type

After the sun is naturally dried, the pulp and peel is removed by a sheller, and its quality is unstable.

The shape of the bean

Generally speaking, the fruit of coffee is made up of two oval seeds opposite each other. The side that connects with each other is a flat joint, so it is called flat bean. But some are made up of a round seed, and its taste is no different.

Growth altitude

According to the elevation of the cultivated land, it can be divided into three, four, seven and other grades. Generally speaking, the quality of highland beans is better than that of lowland beans, and the price is higher because of the increase in freight.
