What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Ethiopia

Region

Guji

Variety

Heirloom

Altitude

200 m

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, process, 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

Acidity

“Low acidity makes this one of the most drinkable decaf espressos you'll find.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

Stands Out 82 SCA score — well above typical decaf quality Sparkling water process — no chemical solvents, clean extraction, no chemical aftertaste High-altitude heirloom — grown at 2,100–2,200 masl in Ethiopia's Guji Zone Low natural acidity — ideal for espresso and milk drinks 2025 harvest — fresh crop, roasted to order Traceable to farm — Dimtu Coffee Industry PLC, Odo… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

“What if I want fruity notes instead of chocolate, in espresso or milk? Use our Filter Roast (plum, pear and almond) on your espresso machine instead of this roast — it's the roast that sets the flavour, not the grind, so just pick whichever grind you need at checkout.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“Lala Salama ("sleep well" in Swahili) is a sparkling water process decaf from the high-altitude Guji Zone of Ethiopia — developed here as an espresso roast to bring out its fullest, most satisfying side.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Brew methods

“Resting tip: As a darker roast, this coffee is fairly porous and degasses relatively quickly — but espresso is a pressurised, concentrated brewing method that's still far more sensitive to trapped CO₂ than filter is.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Roast date on the bag

“Give it around 5–7 days off the roast date before pulling shots: brew it too fresh and the escaping gas can cause fast, gushing shots and unstable crema.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Roasted to order

Tasting notes

A further 3 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.
