Grades of Cloves:

Handpicked Superior (HPS): Uniform size, color, and aroma (This is the highest quality, manually sorted with very few stems or baby cloves.)

Grade 1: Clean, dark brown, less broken (A general category for high-quality cloves that are clean and have a dark brown color.)

Grade 2: Slight variation in size and color (A slightly lower grade with a higher percentage of baby cloves and stems but still with low ash content.)

Grade 3: Broken or smaller cloves (The lowest grade, characterized by a higher percentage of baby cloves, stems, and ash content.)
