Grade 3 MC Santa Clara — named commercial grade
MC Santa Clara is a defined HVC commercial grade for buyers who need a specific defect window and consistent preparation — washed beans with fresh scent and even colour.
Overview
Grade 3 MC Santa Clara permits 100–120 defects in a 300 g sample with less than 4% primary defects. Screen is 14 and above with 5% tolerance.
The cup is clean with medium acidity — suitable for value-driven blends where origin documentation and consistent preparation from a single exporter matter.
Named after HVC's Santa Clara headquarters in Ate, Lima, this grade reflects our in-house quality standards and long experience preparing commercial Peruvian coffee.
