What Olisipo Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

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

“All of our coffees are packed in metal-free oxygen barrier one-way valve bags that are 100% recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)

A further 6 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
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.
