Robusta Coffee Grade 1 Screen 18 – 2% Black & Broken, Vietnam Origin
Robusta Coffee Grade 1 Screen 18 with 2% black and broken is the reference commercial grade for Vietnamese robusta, and the lot most frequently quoted on international tenders. Helena Coffee Vietnam supplies it from our own mill in Daklak with at least 90% of beans above screen 18 (7.1 mm), 12.5% maximum moisture and 0.1% foreign matter, packed in 60 kg jute bags with a minimum order of one 20 ft container.
Specification of Robusta Coffee Grade 1 Screen 18 explained
Grade 1 screen 18 is the standard most commercial roasters and traders use to compare Vietnamese robusta offers, and physical prices for it are usually quoted as a differential to the London robusta futures market. We go beyond the minimum: beans are gravity-sorted and colour-sorted, moisture is checked before stuffing, and every 20 ft container of Robusta Coffee Grade 1 Screen 18 is loaded with 320 bags (19.2 MT) at Ho Chi Minh Port. For global robusta supply data, see the International Coffee Organization.

Cup profile and where it fits
Expect a classic strong Vietnamese robusta: full body, low acidity, bitter-chocolate and woody notes and a long finish, with the thick crema that espresso blenders rely on. The larger screen 18 bean roasts a little slower and more evenly than screen 16, so it suits dark roasts for espresso, Turkish and Vietnamese phin coffee, and roast-and-ground blends where price per kilo matters. The Robusta Coffee Grade 1 Screen 18 lot is also widely used as raw material for soluble coffee.
