Java 50/60 Grade Specifications
This grade holds max 9% moisture content. Count runs 50-60 kernels per ounce with uniform sizing. Admixture stays under 2%, defective kernels capped at 3%. The moisture level prevents spoilage during sea freight. Size consistency matters for industrial roasters that need even heat distribution. Lower defect rate reduces waste in food service operations. This spec works for high-volume roasting where appearance matters less than yield and shelf stability.
