What the roaster says about where it came from

Country
Costa Rica, India
Region
Sumatra
Not stated
farm or estate, producer, process, variety, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

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

Flavour families

Deliciously sweet on the first sip which then gives way to a suggestion of rich dark chocolate and a nutty caramel finish… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“This espresso blend uses a body of Costa Rica Aquiares combined with Mandheling Blue Sumatra and India Plantation A to create a naturally sweet espresso that pairs perfectly with milk for flat whites and cappuccinos but also makes the perfect after dinner espresso.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 2 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.
