What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

El Salvador

Process

washed

Altitude

300 m

Not stated

region, farm or estate, producer, variety, 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

“Grown at 1,300 metres above sea level under around 60% shade cover, this is a small, limited lot — the very first year El Carmen has offered this particular selection.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Body

“Expect a smooth, well-balanced medium body with a gentle sweetness that lingers, the fully washed process giving a clarity and brightness that lets the fruit and sugar notes really shine through.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

Grown at 1,300 metres in El Salvador's Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, this medium roast specialty coffee is fully washed for a clean, bright cup, opening with juicy apricot, brown sugar and warm brownie sweetness… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Grown at 1,300 metres in El Salvador's Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, this medium roast specialty coffee is fully washed for a clean, bright cup, opening with juicy apricot, brown sugar and warm brownie sweetness.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

Roast level

Roasted to order

“This is a single origin specialty coffee, good for all brewing methods, freshly roasted to order by Nick in our roastery, just outside Canterbury — never sitting on a shelf waiting for you.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

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.
