What the roaster says about where it came from

Country
Costa Rica
Process
honey
Variety
Caturra, Catuai
Not stated
region, 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

“A blend of Catuai and Caturra, grown at the foot of the Poas Volcano where volcanic soil meets a climate built for slow, careful ripening, it's a cup that leans sweet and floral, blackberry, toffee and jasmine layered together beautifully.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

A blend of Catuai and Caturra, grown at the foot of the Poas Volcano where volcanic soil meets a climate built for slow, careful ripening, it's a cup that leans sweet and floral, blackberry, toffee and jasmine layered together beautifully… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“Steven Vargas doesn't just grow exceptional coffee, he experiments with it, and this honey processed lot from his Don Sabino micromill is proof of that.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

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.
