How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia
Lalico Coffee describe this coffee as chocolate, spice, earthy. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
earthy and spice are unusual here — 3% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way, and 7% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way.

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.

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.
