SCAA method of green beans grading is followed, but it is not always possible and, sometimes, not required to strictly apply the exact parameters. Either way, we try to lean closer towards the SCAA standard.
Sometimes we are asked to supply larger beans. This may be due to the belief that larger beans may provide a better taste profile, but that is not the universal law of coffee grading. Peaberries are included so the screen sizes are from 14-18. We focus on color, defects, size and moisture, but we place more attention to the batch’s taste profile. Every batch is tasted and reviewed and only the approved batch is packed for export.

Hand-Sorting of Green Beans
As in Ethiopia, the final stage to assure high-quality beans is by sorting with eyes and hands. There are two reasons for this, the first: Hand-Sorting is the simplest but the most effective way for the high-quality coffee color sorting. Second: because we have a small quantity production, the automatic color sorter is not as needed.
The wives of our neighboring farmers are involved in this process. They are specially trained to pick discolored and other defective beans from the perfect ones. There are two to three layers to the sorting process and the beans that have been sorted by hand are called European preparation.

Green Beans Packing at Himalayan Arabica Coffee
Coffee beans are stored in Grainpro bags to retain its freshness and follows international coffee transport packing requirements.  The Grainpro bags are gas-tight and watertight with an inner liner that effectively stop infestation and inhibits the development of afla-toxin producing molds.  The bag effectively preserves the freshness of the coffee for a longer storage and shipping period.

Alternatively, for the customers who are not planning to store for too long, we suggest a cost-effective way of packing in new jute-sacks which allows for free air circulation.  Their net weight is generally 50kgs.  Custom printing on the bag is possible for orders of 20 or more bags.
