Not stated

region, producer, 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

Country of origin

“Honduras’ ascendency over the last year In December 2017, a Honduran coffee broke auction records with a split lot from Finca El Laurel securing bids at $124.50 and $122.90 USD per pound.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“However, last year’s winner used the washed process — as you might be contemplating now, we obviously considered the question ourselves: how good might the Parainema varietal be, when using the natural process?” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

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.
