Excelso EP is a grading term used for Colombian green coffee beans based on bean size and export quality.
- Excelso refers to the bean size, which is slightly smaller than the top-grade Supremo beans but still high quality. Excelso beans are typically screen size 15/16 and are widely used in specialty coffee due to their excellent flavour and consistency.
- EP10 (European Preparation): This means the beans are carefully sorted to remove defects and foreign matter, ensuring clean, export-grade coffee. The “10” refers to the maximum number of defects per 300g, which is still well within specialty-grade standards. EP coffees are hand-sorted to meet the high expectations of specialty buyers worldwide.
