Price not usable

Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.

How it sits among coffee from Panama

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Panama: 51 of 84 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Special Guests describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Panama; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

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

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.

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.
