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.

The coffees you get to try:
ETHIOPIA - SHALE Origin: Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe Taste profile: sweet with notes of pear, grapefruit and black tea Process method: Washed Arabica variety: Heirloom Altitude: 2 300 - 2 350 masl Harvested: January 2025 Green coffee importer: Coffee Imports
This coffee comes from the Shale washing station near Worka, where nearly 1,500 smallholder farmers handpicked cherries throughout the harvest season.
Grown on small family plots without fertilizers or pesticides, this coffee is as pure as it gets — a true reflection of its terroir. Once delivered, the cherries are carefully sorted, weighed, and processed the traditional way, then dried slowly on raised beds to develop their signature character.
Expect a sweet cup with a graceful balance of fruit and floral elegance.

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 Ethiopia
da Matteo Roastery describe this coffee as fruity, citrus, floral, tea-like. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
tea-like is unusual here — 18% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way.

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.
