How it sits among washed coffees

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe washed coffees: 2,020 of 2,874 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Sea Island Coffee describe this coffee as caramel and sweet, chocolate. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across washed coffees; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

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

Not stated

country, region, 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.

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.
