What Paso Paso says about this coffee
A Paso Paso Exclusive
Casiopea is an extremely rare hybrid from Aquiares' experimental gardens. As part of a study by World Coffee Research (WCR) only a small parcel was planted with this hybrid.

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.
