Grading and Garbling (Sorting) standards
Grading and garbling of Indian Coffee is based on the size of the coffee beans and percentage imperfections. In the Indian system of grading and garbling, the tolerance level for each and every grade is specified and expressed in percentage by weight. Quality specifications for Indian Coffee entail that all the grades be totally free from foreign and extraneous matters.
Arabica and Robusta are classified as washed (wet processed) and unwashed (natural/dry processed) based on method of processing. The washed and unwashed Arabicas and Robusta are broadly categorised into
