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.

Not stated
region, farm or estate, 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

“Produced in small batches by Bamboo Hedge Estate, believed to be the original plantation established by the East India Company in 1733 and whose coffee fetched the highest price on the London market in 1845, this farm lies high in the Sandy Bay valley at between about 400 and 500 meters above sea level.” the roaster’s page

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.
