Natural Heavy (NH)
NH stands for Natural Heavy.
After natural processing, the coffee is sorted using a gravity table, which separates the beans by density. The denser beans are classified as NH (Natural Heavy), while the lighter beans are classified as NL (Natural Light).
This is not a different processing method, but an additional sorting step applied to coffees that have undergone the same natural process.
Kenyan coffees are typically graded by bean size, or screen size. NH, however, is classified by density rather than size. By selecting the denser beans that have developed fully during ripening, this sorting process allows for a more quality-focused selection of the coffee.
