Not stated by the roaster
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.

What the roaster says about where it came from
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 around 150 meters above sea level in the coastal Kwa Zulu-Natal province, Racemosa beans are notably tiny compared to other coffee species, roughly the size of a lentil, making them challenging and time-consuming to harvest.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Species
“Until Racemosa, every coffee we had ever sourced was Arabica.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Decaffeinated
“A great alternative to decaf coffee, Racemosa is naturally very low in caffeine - around half of typical Arabica beans and a quarter of Robusta beans.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Farm
“This Racemosa coffee is grown on the Elephant Coast estate in South Africa, an unusual location for quality coffee cultivation as it is typically considered too low altitude, too hot, and too dry for Arabica coffee.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
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.
