Good Morning, I have attached a cupping report below explaining the coffee. The coffee is grown at an altitude of approximately 1100 to 1600 meters in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. We have approximately 10 tons of green bean available for this year. The coffee is considered on the same level if not higher as Jamaican Blue Mountain. The Nepalese Green Coffee Beans are being sold now in Europe for approximately $41.00 per 500 grams (1.1 lbs.) and $16.00 to $18.00 per pound in California. The price will be according to volume. Estimated pricing will be approximately between $9.50 and $12.00 per pound based on volume. Should you need any additional information please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.

Assessment Key
Attribute scores and ratings. Attribute scores (Aroma, Acidity, etc.) are assigned on a scale of 1 – 10, reflecting a judgment that considers intensity, quality and appropriateness to origin. Overall rating is on a scale of 50 – 100. Thus:
Attribute score Overall rating Description
9 – 10 95 – 100 Exceptional
8 – 9 90 – 94 Outstanding
7 – 8 85 – 89 Very Good

Roast level. Attribute scores and sensory assessment are based on a reading of the coffee at the indicated degree of roast. Agtron Whole Bean M-Basic numbers are determined by Agtron M-Basic machine reading of the color of the roasted whole beans. Names assigned to degree of roast (medium, dark, etc.) are based on the Specialty Coffee Association of America nomenclature for the M-Basic or “Gourmet” Agtron Whole Bean M-Basic scale.
