PRACTICAL VISION AND RENDITION OF ROASTING DESIGN AT COFFEA CIRCULOR

There is one word in the Macedonian language (my origin is Macedonia, born and raised in Sweden), and that word is “sok”.

That word has no other reference or synonym in (at least) the English language what I know. It can be explained as:

“Remember when your Mom made juice from picked berries and fruits in the garden?”

That is “sok”, possibly something similar can be “natural, refreshing fruit juice” in the English language. This is what I am making with the coffees and wish that people experience it like so:

How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 927 of 2,375 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Coffea Circulor describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

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.
