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

Altitude, highest

“Turrialba Processing: Washed Altitude: 1200 to 1400 metres above sea level Varietal: Centroamericano Owner: Don Alfonso Robelo Aquiares Estate is one of Costa Rica's oldest and largest coffee farms, producing coffee continuously since 1890 on the fertile slopes of the Turrialba Volcano.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

Species

“Covering 924 hectares, with around 80% planted under shade-grown Arabica, the estate combines more than a century of coffee-growing experience with a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability and community development.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“Developed by CIRAD, PROMECAFE and CATIE, Centroamericano is a cross between the Ethiopian heirloom Rume Sudan and the rust resistant T5296 Sarchimor, combining excellent cup quality with high productivity, large bean size and exceptional resistance to coffee leaf rust.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

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.
