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.

What da Matteo Roastery says about this coffee
250 grams of whole roasted coffee beans.
Alberto Calderon manages the 10-hectare La Esmeralda farm, nestled in the village of La Estrella at an elevation of 1440 metres above sea level. The farm is home to 40,000 Caturron and Castillo coffee trees. As a second-generation coffee producer, Alberto acquired his own farm three decades ago. He is a member of Cuatro Vientos, a family-owned business, offering microlots and regional blends.
After being handpicked, their cherries are floated and then fermented in plastic bags or tanks. Their coffee is traditionally dried on ‘marquesinas’, mechanical dryers, or patios.

What the roaster says about where it came from
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.
How it sits among coffee from Colombia
da Matteo Roastery describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Colombia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Colombia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.
