How it sits among coffee from Costa Rica
Cuppers Choice describe this coffee as fruity. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Costa Rica; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Costa Rica, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

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.

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.
