The purpose of mechanical sorting is first to screen out beans whose specifications must reach 18 mesh and above, while the subsequent multiple manual selections are intended to remove defective beans with irregular shapes. The reduction in defect rate greatly improves the quality of Mandheling coffee. Precisely because the coffee beans are more uniform in size, during roasting the coffee beans are heated more evenly, thereby achieving better development, producing more sweet substances, and making the coffee taste cleaner.

However, Golden Mandheling coffee beans are a registered trademark of PWN, so in order to let consumers distinguish authenticity, PWN provides certification certificates. As long as you are a first-hand buyer, you can obtain this certificate, and the burlap sacks holding the green beans are all printed with the company logo.
