Not stated by the roaster
Price not usable

What Swerl Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
Welcome to the Odd Bean collection. This project started from the idea of wanting to find a home for all the beans in our roastery that are waiting for someone to enjoy them. At the end of every week, we end up with small batches of leftover coffee beans that are carefully packed.

What Swerl Coffee Roasters says about itself
Fairtrade
“Traceability, fair trade and ethically sourced have become buzz words in the industry this past decade but if we had to sum up Swerl into two words it’s likely seasonality and relationships.” their page (opens in a new tab)
Direct trade
“Grateful for all the work everyone does, from our direct trade partners in Brazil the Barreto family, the amazing work of the importer Semilla helping to build producer-run collectives at origin, to single producers like Jhon Jairo in Colombia dedicated to quality, community and consistency.” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

A further 4 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.
