How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 539 of 857 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

John Watt And Sons describe this coffee as fruity, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

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

Not stated

farm or estate, 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

“In the 1930s, agricultural research led to the development of the now-iconic SL28 and SL34 varieties, which continue to define much of the country’s finest coffee today.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

Kenyan coffees are known for their complex, vibrant acidity paired with sweetness and juiciness, often revealing notes such as honeysuckle, melon, sweet stone fruit, and ripe cherry tomato, depending on the brew method… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Coffee cultivation in Kenya began during the colonial period, with early plant stock introduced from Ethiopia and Réunion Island.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“The Iyego co-operative is located in Murang’a County, close to Kirinyaga, and is made up of around 8,000 smallholder farmers who carefully cultivate and deliver their coffee.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“The beans are fully washed and carefully sun-dried on raised African beds, a traditional method that enhances clarity and preserves the lively, sparkling acidity for which Kenyan coffees are widely celebrated.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Producer

“Kenya Iyego is a vibrant single-origin coffee sourced from Murang’a County near Muguru, showcasing the exceptional quality produced by the Iyego Coffee Growers Cooperative Society.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

A further 2 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.
