Price not usable

Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.

How it sits among coffee from Colombia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Colombia: 1,039 of 1,556 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

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

floral is unusual here — 15% of coffee from Colombia are described that way.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

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.
