  „Coffee plants belong to the botanical genus Coffea in the family Rubiaceae, which has 500 genera and over 6,000 species.  Although there is some disagreement, the number of species belonging to Coffea ranges from 25 to 100.  Most commercial green coffee is either the C. arabica or C. canephora species, which is referred to commercially as Arabica and Robusta, respectively.  Coffea arabica is an allotetraploid inbreeder (2n = 44).  Forty to fifty cultivars (infraspecific taxa) are known, and are suspected to be derived from two cultivars of C.“

Green Coffee Classification Green Coffee Classification

  „In the Brazilian method 300 grams of coffee is classified.  The number of beans equivalent to one full defect is given below.  For example, a set of three shells counts as one full defect.  On the other hand one large rock counts as five full defects.  If a bean has more than one defect the highest defect is counted.  For example, a bean that is black and damaged by insects counts as one full defect due to its black attribute.  The table is split up into two since Brazilian legislation allows a maximum of 1% of foreign defects.  After counting the number of defects use the third chart to classify the type and its point rating.“
