Grade 1 Yunnan Arabica Green Coffee Beans, Washed Premium Coffee Beans 1kg

This coffee embodies the top tier of Yunnan’s coffee production. “Grade 1” is not a generic term; it is awarded based on rigorous local protocols that assess bean size, density, and purity. It is the ideal foundation for roasters who prioritize bean uniformity and a clean, high-quality starting point. Varietal: Arabica Origin: Yunnan, China Process: Fully Washed Local Grade: 1 (Yunnan Standard – Supreme) Altitude: 1500 – 1850 meters Moisture Content: 11 – 12% Quality Score: SCA 80 Packaging: 1kg Bag Yunnan Grade 1 Standard Explained Our grading adheres to the traditional and meticulous Yunnan classification system, which is more comprehensive than screen size alone: Screen Size: Beans must pass through a 6.5mm sieve, ensuring large,饱满完整 (plump and whole) beans. Defect Counting: Per the international defect protocol, a 300g sample is meticulously examined. Grade 1 allows for only the absolute minimum number of defects (e.g., black beans, broken beans, foreign matter), far exceeding standard specialty thresholds. Visual & Density Selection: This results in a batch of exceptional physical uniformity, optimal density, and visual appeal, translating to even roasting and a clean cup. Flavor Profile: Comforting & Distinctly Yunnan The high-altitude growth and meticulous washing yield a cup that is both sophisticated and deeply comforting, with a signature regional character. Aroma: Warm, grainy, and sweet—reminiscent of toasted香米 (fragrant rice) and molasses. Flavor: A smooth, creamy body carries distinct notes of brown sugar and milk chocolate. The unique baked rice quality adds a savory-sweet complexity that is hallmark to premium Yunnan coffees. Acidity: Very low and soft, allowing the sweet, creamy notes to dominate. Body: Medium-full, rich, and velvety. Aftertaste: Exceptionally smooth and lingering, with the pleasant sweetness of brown sugar and cocoa. Processing & Quality Verification Precision Washed Process: Ensures a clean, bright, and defect-free foundation by removing all fruit mucilage through fermentation and washing. Dual Grading: Beans first pass the stringent Yunnan Grade 1 physical standard. Subsequently, the lot is cupped and certified as SCA 80 (Specialty Grade), validating its superior sensory quality. Optimal Moisture for Roasting: Dried and stored at 11-12% moisture, providing ideal stability for storage and offering roasters excellent control during the roast. Roasting Guidance & Commercial Application Roast Recommendation: Extremely versatile. Excels in Medium (Full City) to Medium-Dark profiles. Its low acidity and high sugar content make it forgiving and excellent for developing deep sweetness and body. Medium Roasts: Perfect for highlighting the brown sugar and milk chocolate notes in single-origin filter brews. Medium-Dark Roasts: An impeccable, crowd-pleasing base for espresso blends, providing creamy body, natural sweetness, and zero harsh edges. Ideal For: Espresso Blending: The ultimate base component—adds body, sweetness, and smoothness. Premium Single-Origin: Showcases the unique, comforting flavor profile of top-tier Yunnan coffee. Commercial Reliability: The Grade 1 standard ensures batch-to-batch consistency critical for cafe programs.
