Grading & Quality Control
Rigorous sorting, screening and quality classification.
Every lot is screened, density-sorted, colour-sorted and cup-tested against export benchmarks before it is released for shipment.
Our grading process combines mechanical screening with human quality control. We hit UCDA export grades reliably and can produce custom specifications — screen size, defect count, moisture, cup score — for professional buyers with tight requirements.
What we deliver
Screen-size grading
Screen 18, 17, 15, 14 available for Arabica and Robusta.

Gravity tables separate dense, high-quality beans from lighter defects.
Colour sorting
Optical sorters remove blacks, browns and mechanically damaged beans.
Cupping panel
Trained cuppers verify each lot against buyer specification.
How it works

Stones, husks and foreign material removed at intake.
Screening
Beans separated by size on calibrated mesh screens.
Density & colour sort
Gravity table and colour sorter refine to export grade.
Cup verification
Sample from every prepared lot cupped before container loading.
