What is SHG coffee?
"SHG" typically stands for "Strictly High Grown." This term refers to coffee beans that are grown at higher altitudes, usually above 1,200 meters (around 3,900 feet) above sea level. Beans grown at higher altitudes tend to develop more complex flavors and aromas due to the slower maturation process and cooler temperatures. As a result, SHG coffee is often considered to be of higher quality compared to beans grown at lower elevations.
What is EP coffee?
"EP" stands for "European Preparation." This term is used to describe coffee beans that have been prepared and processed according to standards typically preferred by European buyers. EP beans are usually sorted and processed to ensure uniformity in size, shape, and quality. This can involve various stages of sorting, cleaning, and grading to remove defective or substandard beans. EP beans are often considered to be of higher quality and command premium prices in the market.
