Grade G1 (Grade 1) is part of a general international coffee grading system used by many coffee-producing countries around the world—not just China. It’s especially common in regions that export specialty-grade coffee, such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, and others.
Grade G1 Bean means the coffee beans are top quality. They have been carefully selected to remove any bad, broken, or unripe beans. These beans are clean, uniform in size and colour, and have very few defects, which helps ensure a smooth, rich flavour when roasted.
