What 17 Grams says about this coffee

Bright, vibrant and bursting with citrus, Helios brings together the juicy sweetness of orange Starburst, the sharp zing of lime and the crisp, tangy bite of redcurrant. A lively, fruit-forward cup with a refreshing finish, this limited-release coffee really shines with its zesty character and beautifully balanced body.

Named after the Greek god of the Sun, Helios captures the coffee’s radiant, energetic personality. Produced by Benancio Chavez and the SIPRO association in Chiapas, Mexico, this special lot represents the work of a new generation of producers building stronger relationships with roasters and creating better opportunities for their communities.

A further 4 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.
