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

Altitude, lowest

“Each of the 5 farms is less than 51 hectares, all situated between 1,250 and 1,500 meters above sea level.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Species

“The majority of that production is arabica, with robusta only being approved for planting in 2013.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“Made up of 3 varieties, Catimor, Caturra and Red Catuai, which are all dwarf plants that are happy growing close together, allowing for greater overall yields, as well as fitting in amongst the shade trees.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Farm

“Every farm in the lot is geolocated and documented in a traceability report, and the coffee is grown in a way that respects the habitats of local wildlife and protects water sources and flora.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

“A washed coffee, with gentle red apple notes, toffee and milk chocolate finish.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Origin & Producers This coffee is a community lot, made up of the combined harvests and efforts of 5 farms in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua’s northernmost coffee growing region.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“A washed coffee, with gentle red apple notes, toffee and milk chocolate finish.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

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.
