Important Notes:

a) Both washed and natural processing have Grade-1, with the condition of "zero" defects and Premium Cup. Whether washed or natural, Grade-1 is a rating for the best of specialty coffees or Cup of Excellence coffees.

b) The minimum grade for natural Yirgacheffe and Sidamo is Grade-4.

c) Even within the same grade level, such as Grade-2 Limu beans, there can be both good and bad quality, depending on the exporter's sorting standards and investment.

d) Given the current "zero" defect requirement, Grade-1 beans (including both washed and natural) are extremely rare because the processing costs are very high, and very few suppliers produce them.
