Price not usable

Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Variety

“The SL28 brings with it a clarity in acidity and fruitiness that is unique to the Kenyan SL-28 varietal and somewhat unlike anything else.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

“There’s an amalgamation of fruits including peach, orange, apple, red berries — you’ll probably end up telling us about other notes you may have found! The body is quite thin and tea-like which adds to the overall sense of a very clean coffee.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Additional funding comes from Coffee Management Services (CMS) a service provider who also operate in other African countries such as Rwanda and Tanzania.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“Gathaithi is a community coffee created by the Gathaithi Farmer’s Cooperative Society and is a collective of farms from the Nyeri district of the Central province in Kenya.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
