Not stated

farm or estate, producer, 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

Variety

“Aged to perfection on the Indonesian island of Java, this Typica variety coffee undergoes a unique dry process that transforms its flavour.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

Stored in burlap sacks and regularly turned, the beans develop a mellow, earthy profile with almond notes and a smooth finish… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Severe unseasonable rainfall in Indonesia has deeply delayed the coffee harvest and damaged local transit roads, making it incredibly difficult to get the beans out of the farms.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“Hailing from the remote island of Java, lying between Sumatra and Bali in Indonesia , it was originally discovered during long sea voyages in the 16th century, the beans’ unique aging process creates a word smooth, spicy cup with a full-bodied finish.” 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.
