How it sits among coffee in the catalogue

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee in the catalogue: 4,961 of 12,793 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Ruby Alba describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee in the catalogue; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee in the catalogue, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Region

Guji

Not stated

country, farm or estate, producer, process, variety, 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

Flavour families

A careful 60–72 hour fermentation, followed by slow drying, brings out a clean and expressive cup with soft vanilla, brown sugar sweetness and a lifted peach note that carries through every sip… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“Alba Filter is a bright, elegant Ethiopian coffee sourced from smallholder farms in the highlands of Guji. Grown at close to 2,000 metres and processed at the Gogogu washing station, it’s a coffee defined by altitude, clarity and precision.” 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.
