Determination of the selection of grading methods in various countries

1. Generally speaking, coffee is not classified according to altitude in countries near the equator because coffee is grown at a higher altitude. In addition, if it is picked by hand and processed by washing, it will not be graded by bad points because there are few immature beans and sundries mixed in. Therefore, the size of the sieve number is generally used as the grading standard.

Such as Colombia, Tanzania, Kenya

two。 Far from the equator, countries that use washing treatment take the elevation of highlands as the standard of classification because both highlands and lowlands can be planted.

Such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador

3. Mainly by hand picking, but mostly for dry processing. Dry processing is easy to mix with immature beans and other defective beans, so it is classified according to the number of bad points.

Such as Ethiopia, Peru.

4. Except for the countries listed above, almost all of them adopt the sieve size and the number of bad points as the classification criteria.

Such as Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, Jamaica
