Kintamani coffee export Grade 1 is green Arabica from the Kintamani Highlands of Bangli Regency, north-east Bali, graded to Indonesia’s top tier: defect value max 11, moisture max 13%, and screen size 15–19 with specialty lots retained on screen 16 and above. Washed, natural, or honey, it ships EUDR-ready from Bali or Surabaya. As of 2026, request the spec sheet and FOB quote below.
Grade is a physical measurement, not a marketing label. When a lot leaves the dry mill in the highlands above Ulian Village (Desa Ulian) and Catur Village — milling that stays with vetted licensed partners, not with us — “Grade 1” tells a specialty buyer exactly how clean and uniform the beans are before roasting. It is confirmed by inspecting your actual lot, never assumed from the Kintamani name alone.
What does Grade 1 mean for Kintamani green coffee?
Indonesia grades green coffee by counting defects in a 300-gram sample. The fewer the defects, the higher the grade. Grade 1 is the top physical tier, and current Kintamani export listings pair it with the specs specialty roasters in the EU and US screen for first.
| Grade 1 parameter | Export value (as of 2026) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Grade | Indonesian Grade 1 (Grade 1 TP on some semi-washed lots) | Cleanest defect tier |
| Defect value | Max 11 | Fewer black/broken beans, better clarity |
| Moisture | Max 13% | Storage-safe, avoids mould and reabsorption |
| Screen size | 15–19; specialty at 16+ | Uniform roast, high share on screen 17–18 |
| Process | Washed, natural, honey, semi-washed | Matches roaster’s flavour brief |
| Cup profile | Bright citrus (per lot report) | Kintamani’s signature character |
These figures come from current export factsheets and are verified against each lot’s inspection. We do not print certificate or GI registration numbers we cannot back with the lot’s own paperwork.
What is Grade 1 TP (triple-picked)?
TP stands for triple-picked. The green beans pass hand-sorting three times to pull defects, off-colour beans, and foreign matter beyond the standard Grade 1 threshold. On current Kintamani export listings this designation appears on a semi-washed (wet-hulled) lot. Triple-picking raises uniformity and adds labour, so a TP lot usually sits near the top of the washed price band. If your roastery wants the lowest defect count available, ask specifically for a Grade 1 TP sample.
How do screen size and cup score fit the grade?
Grade, screen, and cup score are three separate things — and specialty buyers read all three. Grade measures defects. Screen size measures the bean’s physical size through calibrated sieves. Cup score measures flavour, and it comes only from a cupping report on that lot.
| Metric | What it measures | Grade 1 Kintamani reference |
|---|---|---|
| Grade | Defect count per 300 g | Grade 1, defect value max 11 |
| Screen size | Bean diameter | 15–19; specialty 16+, high share on 17–18 |
| Cup score | Flavour (SCA scale) | From lot cupping report / COA only |
Screen 16 and above is the specialty threshold; screen 17–18 lots roast most evenly. A Grade 1 grade does not by itself promise an 84-point cup — you receive the actual sample and its report so your Q-grader decides.
What does Grade 1 Kintamani cost to export?
Prices below are indicative FOB figures as of 2026 and move with harvest, quality, and cup score. Every quote is confirmed against grade, cupping score, lot size, and MOQ — one band, no hidden second price.
| Offer tier | Cup score (per lot report) | Indicative FOB 2026 | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washed Grade 1 specialty (screen 16+) | SCA ~82–84 | USD 8–11 / kg | GrainPro + jute |
| Microlot / natural Grade 1 | SCA 84–87+ | USD 10–15+ / kg | GrainPro + jute |
| Commodity grade (reference only) | — | ~USD 3.5–6 / kg | Jute |
Cup scores and grades are drawn only from a lot’s cupping report or COA. We never attribute a score to a named farm or cooperative as fact. Supporting IDR reference points (retail, not export asking prices) include one single-origin retail product listed at Rp90,000–Rp280,000, and value-added ratios cited per kg for natural, honey, and full-washed green bean — useful for context, not for quoting.
How does ordering a Grade 1 lot work?
Green coffee sourcing runs on samples first, containers second. Here is the path from enquiry to shipment, arranged through vetted licensed partners:
- Send your brief — process, target grade, screen preference, cup range, and volume (MOQ and container plans).
- Receive the Grade 1 spec sheet — defect, moisture, screen, and process for available lots, dated 2026.
- Cup the samples — we arrange washed, natural, and honey samples, shipped via vetted licensed partners with each lot’s report, so your team scores them.
- Lock the lot — confirm grade, score, lot, MOQ, and Incoterm; we finalise the FOB (or CIF) quote.
- EUDR-ready traceability — we help assemble plot geolocation and due-diligence documents; we prepare, we do not sell certainty on customs or EUDR outcomes.
- Export & ship — GrainPro and jute bags leave Bali or Surabaya through the milling and forwarding partners, with certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice, and packing list under the correct green-coffee HS code.
Main harvest runs May–October, so pre-book sampling and container space around it. Traceability cues buyers look for — Bangli Regency on the bag, the GI-protected Kintamani Arabica designation, and a named subak (Subak Abian) group — are built into the spec sheet where the lot supports them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 Kintamani green coffee?
Indonesian grading counts defects in a 300-gram sample. Grade 1 caps the defect value at a maximum of 11 with moisture max 13%, so cleaner, more uniform beans reach specialty roasters. Grade 2 allows more defects, which usually lowers cup clarity. Grade is confirmed by inspecting your actual lot, never assumed from the Kintamani origin name.
What does Grade 1 TP (triple-picked) mean for Kintamani coffee?
TP means triple-picked: the green beans pass hand-sorting three times to remove defects, off-colour beans, and foreign matter beyond the standard Grade 1 threshold. On current Kintamani export listings it appears on a semi-washed lot. Triple-picking raises uniformity and labour cost, so expect a TP lot to sit near the top of the washed price band.
What are the maximum defect and moisture limits for Grade 1 Kintamani export?
Current Kintamani export factsheets list Grade 1 at a defect value of maximum 11 and moisture of maximum 13%, with screen size spanning 15–19 and specialty lots retained mostly on screen 17–18. As of 2026 these figures are confirmed against your lot’s inspection and cupping report, never guaranteed from the origin name alone.
Does a Grade 1 grade guarantee a high cupping score?
No. Grade 1 measures physical defects, moisture, and screen size, not flavour. Cup scores — for example SCA around 82–84 for washed and 84–87+ for microlots — come only from a lot’s cupping report or COA. We never attribute a score to a farm or cooperative as fact; you receive the actual sample and its report before committing.
