Product Description

Green coffee beans are graded according to certain criteria, such as shape, size, uniformity of the beans, color, horniness, husk, cut, gloss, smoothness of the beans, proportion of defective beans, foreign matter and odor. The color of the beans must exhibit a greenish to deep green and fresh background hue and varies depending on variety and origin (top varieties from Central America: strong green to gray-blue, other varieties: light yellow to light green). Fading color, starting at the tips of the beans, results from a relatively long storage time and is deemed to indicate poor quality. Fresh-colored coffee beans are recently harvested, while yellowish-green hues are indicative of beans from an older harvest. Coffee beans must be hard and not spongy (especially washed coffee beans), ***** if a finger nail is pressed into the bean, it should leave no trace. The gloss and smoothness of the beans indicate clean processing - Specifications of Robusta coffee Garde 1 screen *6: + Moisture: *2.5% max. + Admixture: 0.5% max + Black and broken beans: 2% max. + Bean size: *0% min. on sieve no. *6 (6.1mm) + Packing: in bulk or jute bags *0kgs net each.
